LONDON, ENGLAND, U.K. -- A spokesman for Prince Charles says Prince William has given fiancee Kate Middleton the engagement ring that belonged to his late mother, Princess Diana.

The ring is an oval sapphire surrounded by diamonds.

Royal officials announced Tuesday that William and Kate will marry in the spring or summer of next year, giving Britain its biggest royal wedding since Charles married Diana in 1981
