Prince William carried the engagement ring—a stunning 18-carat sapphire surrounded by fourteen diamonds which had previously belonged to Diana, Princess of Wales—with him. Prince William asked Catherine to marry him in a manner she later said was "very romantic, and...very personal." Clarence House announced the engagement to the world on November 16, 2010.
