- Harry learned about William’s engagement after the official announcement.
- He later rectified himself and gave Willy the ring he inherited from his mother.
- William and Kate married in 2011 in front of the Royal Family and close friends.
Prince Harry is recalling the moment he learned of Prince William’s engagement to Kate Middleton.
The Duke of Sussex discloses that his elder brother did not share his wedding arrangements with him personally and that he learned about them only after the Palace made an official announcement.
In his memoir ‘Spare,’ he writes:“The Palace announced that Willy was going to marry. November 2010. News to me. All that time together in Lesotho, he’d never mentioned it. The papers published florid stories about the moment I realized Willy and Kate were well matched, the moment I appreciated the depth of their love and thus decided to gift Willy the ring I’d inherited from Mummy, the legendary sapphire, a tender moment between brothers, a bonding moment for all three of us, and absolute rubbish: none of it ever happened.”
He subsequently rectified himself: “I never gave Willy that ring because it wasn’t mine to give. He already had it. He’d asked for it after Mummy died, and I’d been more than happy to let it go.”
William and Kate married in 2011 in London, in front of the Royal Family and close friends.
