Diana was the epitome of grace and style, and certainly much beloved around the world. To this day, we -- and so many others -- still miss her so much. That's why we are so moved whenever we see Kate Middleton wearing Diana's beautiful ring.

Naturally, when it came time for William to pop the question to Kate, he used his mom's sapphire engagement ring to seal the deal. It's a moving tribute, and a wonderful way for him to bring his mother's presence into his relationship with the daughter-in-law she never got to meet.
