London, England-- News of Britain's next royal wedding was on the front page of every British paper on Wednesday, but so were mentions of the late Princess Diana.
The day after Prince William proposed to his longtime girlfriend, Kate Middleton, tabloids carried full-page pictures of the couple and broadsheets ran large, above-the-fold headlines.
"We got there in the end, darling!" was the headline on the Daily Mail. "(And it's sealed with Diana's ring!)"
"Something borrowed, something blue," wrote The Times, referring to the large sapphire-and-diamond ring William used to propose to Middleton last month.
"With this ring, Di thee wed," wrote the Daily Mirror.
William said in the couple's first joint interview Tuesday that he chose to use the ring because he wanted his mother to "be with us at such a happy time." Diana died in a Paris car crash in 1997, when William was 15.
Attention on the ring and the link to Princess Diana showed how much her memory is already hovering over the upcoming wedding.
"The presence of Diana, it has always been there throughout William and Harry's life, and it will now become even greater, because Kate is going to be compared at every turn," Mark Saunders, the author of several books on the royals, told CNN's "The Situation Room." "We're supposed to call her Katherine now -- Katherine will be compared to Diana constantly. It will never go away."
