Princess Catherine made a rare statement about her late mother-in-law Princess Diana this week.
The Princess of Wales, AKA Kate Middleton doesn’t often make comments about her husband, Prince William‘s, mother — but while visiting some royal fans in Merthyr Tydfil on Thursday, she offered some rare insight on her feelings towards “the people’s princess.”

In a video taken by Instagram user judith.cymraes posted to all.thats.pretty, the 41-year-old was asked about her engagement ring. She confirmed to the fan that it is, in fact, Diana’s ring:
But what makes the ring more special is that it didn’t even have to be resized! She revealed she and her late mother-in-law just happened to have the exact same ring size:
That is so special!
While continuing the conversation, Kate went on to say Diana would’ve been a “brilliant grandmother” and that the family misses “her every day.” But then came the heartbreaking reminder, of course:
Yes, Princess Di passed away in 1997, when Kate and Will would only have been 15. This was years before they would meet at university in 2001, so of course she never met his mum.
Aww! So bittersweet, but what an incredible privilege to be able to wear it every day and honor the late princess! Ch-ch-check out the video (below):
If you’ll recall, William gave Kate the engagement ring way back in 2010 when he popped the question while they were on vacation in Kenya. The incredible ring features a 12-carat oval Ceylon surrounded by 14 solitaire diamonds, as well as an 18-carat sapphire. The Garrard-designed ring was valued at around £30,000 when it was made in 1981 — which in 2023 would be over £100k — and was chosen by Diana herself
