The engagement ring is the main symbol of love. And Charles's feelings for his two women are very eloquently illustrated by the choice of jewelry, writes Interesting to know.
Princess Diana was a hope and example for millions. But about her sad fate, perhaps, everyone knows. During the engagement and the wedding of Lady Dee, people believed in an enchanting fairy tale about a prince and a princess, where there is a lot of love and there will always be a treasured “happily ever after.” But for Princess Diana, the fairy tale became a real nightmare.
Experts say that to be more attentive, it will become clear that with all his appearance - actions, gestures - Charles showed a dislike for the bride. For example, this was reflected in his chosen ring.
It is believed that Lady Dee herself did not want something artsy and expensive. But in the royal family, symbolism plays a big role. Charles could not choose the most expensive ring, but he could make it to order, according to his sketch. In the end, put your soul into this symbolic decoration. But instead, the prince chose the first ring with a sapphire that any average Briton could afford.
Although for his beloved, he kept the ring of his grandmother for many years. It is no secret that in spite of strict selection rules for brides, which Camilla did not correspond to at all, the Queen Mother encouraged their relationship. Therefore, she would definitely approve of such a gesture of her grandson even after years.
So Camilla became the owner of the Windsor family heirloom - a platinum ring with a 5-carat emerald-cut diamond. In addition, Charles created a sketch of the bracelet, which was presented to her lover. The bracelet is called a good friend.
All this causes sadness and sorrow for neglecting the beautiful Diana. However, she was such an amazing personality that she herself became a legend, like her jewelry.
At one time, her plenipotentiary adornment was called “the ring of commoners”. However, today it is priceless, it has become a legend. And Duchess Kate proudly wears it on her finger in memory of the "Queen of Hearts".
