On February 20, Paul Burrell, the butler of Princess Diana before the death of the "British Rose", said in an interview with British media reporters that Prince Harry said that the sapphire engagement ring that originally belonged to Princess Diana on Princess Kate's hand had long been taken away by William, which is obviously contrary to the facts, and Princess Diana's former butler wants to tell the truth of the matter.
Paul Burrell has denied Prince Harry's new claims about the engagement ring that Princess Kate wears without leaving her body.
In the new memoir "Spare", written by Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, at his mansion in Santa Barbara, California, the prince said that the previous rumors circulating in the market that he agreed that Prince William used Princess Diana's Cartier watch to exchange for a sapphire engagement ring to propose to Kate Middleton was not true.
In the winter of 2010, British royal fans in the northern hemisphere received good news in the cold wind, the old British Crown Prince Charles and his legendary original Princess Diana's eldest son Prince William finally announced their engagement with Miss Kate Middleton, his girlfriend who had been working hand in hand for many years.
In the official engagement photos released by Buckingham Palace, Miss Middleton snuggles sweetly with her prince's boyfriend.
Her left hand was gently placed on the prince's broad chest, with the crisp suit as the background, and a ring made of sapphire as the center stone and diamonds on her slender jade hand attracted the attention and embarrassment of countless people.
In addition to the luxury and beauty of the ring itself, this is a "heritage ring" with a story.
It once belonged to the prince's late mother, Princess Diana, who accompanied her from the dreamy love of a girl through the cruel marriage experience of adults, and now, after the early death of Princess Xiangyu, she has reappeared in the world and appeared in the hands of her prospective daughter-in-law.
Although she was tortured by Camilla and Charles and unable to fight back, her son is the future king, and this ring will be worn by the Queen of England in the future, how can it not make people sigh "the sky has eyes"?!
Since getting this true "inheritance" ring, in the public eye, Kate, who has been promoted from the Duchess of Cambridge to Princess of Wales, wears it for a moment.
However, Princess Diana's sons staged a farce of the "brotherly wall" that people could not bear to witness.
Just this year, Prince Harry, who frequently exposed the grievances of the royal family, launched his new masterpiece, a memoir called "Backup".
In the book, in addition to revealing the shortcomings of his eldest brother in the family, he also gave his own views on the beautiful talk of "brothers give ring".
"Brotherly Ring" originally said that after Princess Diana's early death, Prince William chose his mother's Cartier watch, and Prince Harry chose her engagement ring as a souvenir.
In 2010, when William was about to mention the engagement to his girlfriend Kate, Prince Harry proposed to give the ring to his brother, and William gave his mother's watch that he had kept for many years to his brother as compensation and exchanged it for jewelry.
But in his memoirs, Harry labeled this statement "absolute rubbish."
He wrote: "Never have I ever given Willie (Prince William's nickname) that ring, it wasn't mine. He took it long ago, and he asked for it after my mom died, and I was more than happy to let it go. ”
True to what the Queen said during her lifetime: some recollections may vary.
For the Little Prince's new statement, Diana's former butler Paul Burrell had a different opinion on the whole thing.
Paul Burrell, who had served Diana and the late Queen Elizabeth II, was already an adult at the time and not only witnessed but participated in it from start to finish.
He said he watched his motherless sons pick out jewelry they wanted to keep after Princess Di's death.
When the boys returned to Kensington Palace, Paul said to them, "You must take your mother's things, you must take something to remind yourself of the time you had at Kensington Palace and your mother's life." ”
William preferred the Cartier tank watch, which was a birthday gift from their grandfather, Earl Spencer, on her 21st birthday, and William remembered that Princess Diana had been wearing it to see the time.
And Harry said at the time: "I always remember holding my mum's hand, that ring hurt me, it was too big. So, can I take my mom's engagement ring? It was a ring from my childhood memories. ”
The boys left with two very different objects from their mother's life.
So, the reporter asked Paul, would Prince William be unhappy because the ring was owned by Harry?
Paul said: "William was happy with the arrangement. He is not a mercenary person, so he does not choose whether to collect or not based on which is the most gorgeous. They chose two very simple things, rings and watches, rather than dreamy jewelry, these two everyday objects that meant a lot to the boys. ”
William's proposal to Kate was done in the middle of nowhere.
And it was Harry who had the ring, so Harry apparently gave his treasure to his eldest brother so that his mother's ring that had hurt him could be worn on the ring finger of the future king's wife, and one day, she would become queen.
Paul vowed to "do everything in my power" to mend the painful split between Diana's beloved two boys.
But he also had to admit that although he wanted to see William put his arm around his brother, he didn't think he would see this scene in his lifetime, because there were too many obstacles on the road to reconciliation.
