But why did she make the changes, and what alterations did the Duchess make?
Max added: “It’s not uncommon for engagement rings to be altered or redesigned, however, in this instance it is believed to be Prince Harry who took charge of the alteration.
“He made the decision to resize and reset the ring so that the original simple band was replaced with a thin, yellow gold band set with micro-pavè diamonds.
“As he chose to upgrade the band at the same time he ordered a bespoke eternity ring for her, it’s likely he wanted to make the two complement each other.”
