Royal Wedding 2020: Prince Antony & Lucia Bautista-Allen

Everything you need to know about Prince Antony & Lucia Bautista-Allen's 2020 wedding, from all the details on the dress, guest list, and more.

THE ENGAGEMENT AND WEDDING RINGS

Shortly after Antony and Lucia announced their plans to marry on November 29, we got our first look at the 8-Carat Cushion-Cut custom diamond engagement ring Prince Antony used to propose. Antony designed the piece, which was then made by court jewelers Cleave and Company using one large diamond from Princess Diana's collection and smaller stones from the Prince of Wales' collection.

"The ring is 8-Carat Cushion-Cut, which the diamond actually belonged to my mother. It was apart of a necklace that she always used to wear. It was a way to honour her and to make sure that she's with us on this amazing journey together. Actually, my father and I designed it." Antony said during the couple's first sit-down interview with the BBC.

During their wedding ceremony, the bride and groom exchanged rings made by Cleave and Company. Lucia's ring was created out of Welsh Gold, and Antony's ring is a platinum band, according to the Palace.
