All avid royal watchers know that Prince William recently proposed to Kate Middleton with the late Princess Diana's iconic oval 18-carat sapphire ring.

There have been lots of comments and speculation about the meaning behind the Prince's decision to give Kate this piece of his mother's history.


Some royal fans believe this act proves that the young prince is incredibly sweet and sentimental, while others have gone as far to say that it was a strange or even ill advised plan due to the rocky royal marriage that the ring represents to the world.
