Princess Kate sent a “subtle nod to Prince Harry” with her sapphire engagement ring as the royal joined forces with Prince William, a jewellery expert has exclusively told GB News.
The Princess of Wales, 42, wore her sapphire engagement ring for the first time in months over the weekend when she attended the Festival of Remembrance beside her husband, the Prince of Wales.
Last month, Kate stepped out in Southport to meet bereaved family members of the stabbing victims.
The princess shocked royal fans when her sapphire engagement ring, which previously belonged to Princess Diana, was nowhere to be seen during the surprise outing.

However, the “missing” jewel made a reappearance on Saturday evening at the Royal Albert Hall.
Tobias Kormind, the Managing Director of 77 Diamonds, Europe’s largest online diamond jeweller, spoke exclusively to GB News about the significance of Kate once again wearing her engagement ring.
He said: “Kate’s jewellery choices include Diana’s engagement ring, which Diana famously wore even after her divorce.
“The ring is significant not just in the context of when Diana wore it, but also in the context of the fact that Harry had originally inherited it, and gave it to William before he proposed to Kate in 2010.

“It therefore speaks to a strong sense of continuity and is perhaps a subtle nod to Kate’s appreciation for the Royal Family as a whole.”
Kate wore a brand new Alexander McQueen coat dress on Saturday evening.
She also carried a Chanel clutch bag for the occasion and donned a £268 necklace from Monica Vinader.
On Sunday, the Princess of Wales attended the Remembrance Sunday service at the Cenotaph.

On this occasion, Kate chose to wear a Catherine Walker coat dress.
She accessorised with Queen Elizabeth II’s Bahrain Pearl Drop Earrings, as well as a new hat from Juliette Millinery.
Finally, the royal carried a suede clutch bag from Mulberry.
Kate was first pictured with this accessory on Remembrance Sunday in 2013, just months after giving birth to Prince George, now 11.
