Kate Middleton è una donna fortunata: ecco i gioielli che le ha regalato il principe William

L'anello di fidanzamento nasconde un significato speciale, ma non è l'unico dono prezioso che l'erede al trono d'Inghilterra ha scelto per sua moglie, la duchessa di Cambridge, e quasi tutti hanno un risvolto molto romantico

Come ogni buon marito il principe William fa dei regali a sua moglie, la duchessa di Cambridge. A differenza della maggior parte degli altri uomini, però, i suoi doni sono spesso cimeli della famiglia reale, pezzi particolari o personalizzate. E, in genere, molto costosi. Ecco alcuni gioielli che William ha donato a Kate Middleton nel corso degli anni e il significato sentimentale che nascondono.

La fedina Eternity vintage

<p>Kate owns a truly stunning Victorian eternity band made from garnets (her birthstone) and pearls (the birthstone of Prince William). She's been wearing the ring on and off since the early days of their courtship, and lore (read: royal-obsessed blogs) says it was purchased by HRH.&nbsp;</p>

La duchessa di Cambridge ha una splendida fedina Eternity in stile vittoriano con granati (la pietra del suo segno natale) e perle (pietra del segno natale del principe William). Ha indossato quest'anello fin dai primi tempi della relazione con William e i ben informati delle faccende reali sostengono che sia stato acquistato nientemeno che dalla Regina.

L'anello di fidanzamento

<p>As you're probably well-aware, Kate's engagement ring once belonged to Princess Diana, and features fourteen diamonds surrounding a twelve carat sapphire. Apparently, Prince Charles allowed his sons to pick a memento&nbsp;from Diana's collection when she died—and it was actually&nbsp;Harry who picked the ring, while William <a href="http://www.vanityfair.com/news/2003/09/princes-private-world-200309" target="_blank" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&amp;q=http://www.vanityfair.com/news/2003/09/princes-private-world-200309&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1499790911007000&amp;usg=AFQjCNE-XfyQxrD0X2L4Qdtb27zML02lzg">chose</a> his mother's Cartier watch. They switched items when Will&nbsp;decided to propose to Kate. 'It is very special to me," he said. "It was my way of making sure my mother didn't miss out on today, and the excitement, and the fact we are going to spend the rest of our lives together."</p>

Come probabilmente saprai già, l'anello di fidanzamento di Kate era della principessa Diana ed è composto da 14 diamanti e uno zaffiro di 12 carati. A quanto sembra, il principe Carlo ha permesso ai figli di scegliere un ricordo dalla collezione della madre e in realtà Harry optò per l'anello di fidanzamento, mentre William scelse il suo orologio di Cartier. Quando William decise di chiedere in sposa Kate fecero uno scambio: «È molto speciale per me», ha commentato il principe, «è il mio modo per assicurarmi che mia madre non mi manchi mai».

La fede nuziale

<p>Perhaps the most significant gift from her husband, Kate's wedding band is made of Welsh gold that belongs to the royal family. As in, the royal family casually has&nbsp;a stockpile of gold. Shrug! Per a royal&nbsp;<a href="http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-wales-south-west-wales-13196514" target="_blank" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&amp;q=http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-wales-south-west-wales-13196514&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1499790911007000&amp;usg=AFQjCNGNig2yj97xYvkR0sJQfC82TYcdbw">spokesman</a>: "The wedding ring that Catherine Middleton will wear will be made of Welsh gold. The gold was given to Prince William by The Queen shortly after the couple were engaged. It has been in the family's possession for some years and has been in the care of the royal jewelers. There are no further details on which mine the gold was mined from." Mine receipts or it didn't happen, tbh.&nbsp;</p>

Forse il gioiello più significativo che William ha donato alla sua futura moglie in occasione delle nozze è stata proprio la fede nuziale, realizzata con oro gallese (particolarmente pregiato) che apparteneva alla famiglia reale e sarebbe stato messo a disposizione dalla Regina Elisabetta.

Gli orecchini di zaffiro e diamanti

<p>You may have noticed that Kate has a pair of earrings that perfectly match her engagement ring. They also belonged to Princess Diana, and were given to Kate by William in 2011. According to&nbsp;<a href="http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-style/news/kate-middleton-wears-princess-dianas-earrings-2011247" target="_blank" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&amp;q=http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-style/news/kate-middleton-wears-princess-dianas-earrings-2011247&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1499790911007000&amp;usg=AFQjCNGzBRJGtoZWPWs4t3TGECztuG-i5w"><em data-redactor-tag="em" data-verified="redactor">Us Weekly</em></a>, the earrings were believed to be Diana's "most prized" jewels, while a source&nbsp;<a href="http://www.today.com/news/prince-william-gives-kate-pair-diana-s-earrings-wbna43881711" target="_blank" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&amp;q=http://www.today.com/news/prince-william-gives-kate-pair-diana-s-earrings-wbna43881711&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1499790911007000&amp;usg=AFQjCNETP7i2ndKBg-LNkIGP_C5QqXi1gg">told</a>&nbsp;the <em data-redactor-tag="em" data-verified="redactor">Daily Mail</em> "now that they're married, William wanted her to have some of his mother's favorite pieces."</p>

Probabilmente avrai notato che Kate ha un paio di orecchini che si abbinano alla perfezione con l'anello di fidanzamento. Anche questi appartenevano alla principessa Diana e sono stati donati alla duchessa di Cambridge nel 2011. Stando a US Weekly quegli orecchini erano molto apprezzati da Lady Diana e una fonte ha detto al Daily Mail che «ora che sono sposati, William ha voluto fare avere a Kate alcuni dei pezzi preferiti di sua madre».

Gli orecchini natalizi

<p>Kate wore this pair of earrings during her first Christmas with the royal family back in 2011. They're by one of her favorite jewelers&nbsp;Kiki McDonough, and are&nbsp;<a href="http://ca.hellomagazine.com/royalty/201112286855/kate-wears-earrings-gift-william/" target="_blank" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&amp;q=http://ca.hellomagazine.com/royalty/201112286855/kate-wears-earrings-gift-william/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1499790911007000&amp;usg=AFQjCNEoaVKPUFibyp-obupOwaQYgN0nfg">believed</a>&nbsp;to have been a gift from Prince William.&nbsp;</p>

La duchessa ha indossato questi orecchini durante il suo primo Natale con la famiglia reale, nel 2011. Sono di Kiki McDonough, uno dei suoi gioiellieri preferiti, e si pensa che sia stato proprio il principe William a regalarglieli.
