The engagement is making headlines, especially because of the ring, valued at approximately £3.7 million (about 39 crore rupees). Yet, for Georgina, it's more than a priceless diamond—it's a symbol of long-awaited fulfillment.

Georgina recalls, 'When he proposed, the ring wasn't on my mind. It took me time to understand the diamond he gave me. I was so shocked that I didn’t even look at the ring in the sunlight until the next day.'
