Who Wore Kate Middleton’s Ring First? The History Behind the Ring

Prince Harry was actually the one to get the ring.

After Princess Diana’s death, both of her sons were able to collect one of her heirlooms for themselves. Prince William had originally picked a watch to keep of his mother’s, while Harry was the one to select the ring.

The two had an agreement, however, that whoever would get engaged first would get to propose with the ring, which is why Prince Harry ultimately gave Prince William the ring when he proposed to Kate.
