The Queen's wedding ring reportedly features a secret and special inscription from her late husband, Prince Philip.
The Duke of Edinburgh sadly passed away on 9 April 2021 at the age of 99, but the 95 year old Monarch will always have something special to remember her husband of 73 years by.
Since they tied the knot, the Queen has been wearing a gorgeous Welsh gold wedding ring like many other royals however, Philip is said to have engraved a secret message on the inside of the band.
Only three people know exactly what it says, according to Ingrid Seward, the author of Prince Philip: Revealed, who explained: "She never takes it off and inside the ring is an inscription."
Ingrid added: "No one knows what it says, other than the engraver, the Queen and her husband."
The Queen's wedding ring is crafted from pure Welsh gold from the Clogau St David's gold mine.
Welsh gold wedding rings were also favoured in Princess Margaret's marriage to Antony Armstrong-Jones in 1960, Lady Diana Spencer and Prince Charles in 1981, and Kate Middleton to Prince William in 2011.
Prince Philip is also said to have designed the Queen's engagement ring himself.
He proposed to Princess Elizabeth in 1946. However, the announcement was delayed until after the Prince's 21st birthday in 1947, when the world got their first glimpse of her Majesty's sparkler.
The Queen's stunning diamond engagement ring features a three-carat, round cut diamond centre stone and ten smaller ones set in platinum.
It was created all thanks to the sacrifice of Prince Philip's mother, Princess Alice of Battenberg.
The diamonds used came from one of her own antique tiaras.
