Juliana sat on the couch with Daniel as she watched her eldest brother and Catherine take photos at their engagement photo-call on the television.
"Did you know about their engagement?" Daniel asked.
Juliana nodded.
"Of course, I did but I didn't know Harry gave William, our mum's ring to propose to Catherine with it." Juliana answered as the camera zoomed in on the Princess Diana's engagement ring on Catherine's ring finger.

"Harry had the ring?" Daniel asked.
"When our mum passed, we had to pick something of hers that we wanted to have and Harry chose her engagement ring." Juliana replied.
"Well, that was nice of him to let William have the ring to propose to Catherine with it." Daniel said.
