The royal rumour-mill is in overdrive with whispers that Prince Harry is going to propose to Meghan Markle!
The Suits actress and royal prince recently enjoyed an African safari holiday in Botswana to celebrate Meghan’s birthday. However, it’s rumoured that that wasn't the only celebration taking place. The couple’s fairytale romance began just a year ago, but it’s thought that a proposal is imminent. Harry would have had to ask the Queen for approval before he jetted off, but it’s believed that this was the perfect location for a proposal. It’s said that Botswana is a place that’s close to his heart and William similarly proposed to Kate whilst on safari.
Harry isn’t short on glittering jewels to pick from and whatever he goes for is sure to be dazzling. But what style do you think he could have chosen?
LAINGS 18CT WHITE GOLD 1.72CT SAPPHIRE AND DIAMOND RING
Prince Harry may decide to opt for a sapphire, similar to the ring that William presented to Kate. His late mother, Princess Diana was a fan of sapphires and was often spotted in beautiful blue jewellery. For this reason it’s said that the gemstone is a favourite of Harry’s.
This opulent ring definitely has a regal feel to it. The breath-taking sapphire is a stunning 1.72ct and displays a beautiful deep blue hue that’s synonymous with the stone. The vibrant colour is then enhanced by glittering trapeze diamonds either side that elegantly taper as they reach the sophisticated white gold band.
PRE-OWNED 18CT YELLOW GOLD 1.50CT DIAMOND CLUSTER RING
Prince Harry has access to some spectacular heritage jewellery and it’s rumoured that he may even be designing a ring with a diamond taken from one of Diana’s tiaras. A spectacular old cut diamond would be a glittering way to create a vintage style ring.
You can fabulously capture vintage appeal with a glittering pre-owned piece. This ring has a really luxurious and opulent feel to it, with the simple yellow gold band allowing the central design to stand-out. The exploding cluster of diamonds captures the light at every angle and the eye-catching piece wouldn’t look out of place on a Royal’s hand!
