In his first post engagement interview, Prince William revealed more details of his proposal to Catherine Middleton to ITN’s Tom Bradby. The prince said he carried his mother’s sapphire and diamond engagement ring for weeks in his rucksack before popping the long-awaited question to his girlfriend of eight years whilst on a safari trip to Kenya in October.

The couple’s interview was relaxed with light-hearted banter on some of the finer details of their romance. Whilst pursuing his courtship of Catherine, Prince William said that friendship first in the relationship was a good foundation and a massive advantage.

The wedding will take place next year in London.

Catherine Middleton Receives Sapphire and Diamond Engagement Ring

Queen Elizabeth II is probably pleased with Prince William’s sign of frugalness. The ring belonged to his late mother Diana. According to William’s perspective, he wanted Catherine to have something that was very special to him. The sapphire and diamond ring first made its appearance at the engagement photocall of Lady Diana Spencer and the Prince of Wales on Tuesday, February 24, 1981 at 3:00 pm on the grounds of Buckingham Palace. The deep blue oval sapphire is surrounded by fourteen diamonds and mounted on platinum. The ring was designed by the crown jewelers Garrard which was priced in their catalog at £28,500.

With the reappearance of Diana’s engagement ring, it could hopefully signal that other pieces such as the Cambridge Lover’s Knot tiara, Queen Mary’s Art Deco emerald bracelet and the Sultan of Oman’s sapphires might be worn by the future princess Catherine Middleton.

Meredith Vieira’s Interview with Prince Andrew

Prince Andrew appeared on the NBC Today Show this week to discuss Prince William, Prince Harry and Sarah Ferguson. He also talked about his daughters, his former military occupation and his current job. Meredith Vieira’s rare interview with the prince took place in the comfort of Buckingham Palace.

Of his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, Andrew praised her mothering skills and said: “She's the one that delivered what I would describe as that grounding and that down-to-earth attitude in the girls. “She's been through marriage to a member of the royal family. And she's seen both ends. So she knows something that I could never experience, because she's come into it and gone out of it. Now, that experience is probably more valuable to the girls in their grounding than anything that I can give them.”

As a former Navy officer, the prince appreciated the efforts of William and Harry when they signed up for military service and said: “Those two young men are outstanding young people who have chosen to join the armed forces. And I think it’s absolutely right and proper that they should have an exposure to the military.”

Along with the interview, Ms. Vieira was afforded a rare view around Buckingham Palace. During the tour, Prince Andrew recounted some of his favourite pastimes.
