Ring the Bells
Diana’s wedding details were surrounded by controversy. Did she know she actually selected her own engagement ring from a catalog? Most royal engagement rings are custom designed, but Diana chose her ring which consisted of 14 solitaire diamonds around a 12-carat sapphire set in white gold from a Garrard jewelry collection catalog. Since her death, it has been passed on to Kate Middleton.

Diana was the first royal bride to not follow royal protocol in regards to her wedding vows. In general, royal brides are expected to read traditional wedding vows. Diana removed the word “obey” when she recited her wedding vows. This was a huge deal and made headlines. Kate and William actually followed suit when they wed in 2011.
