Now it seems that William has presented Kate with the matching Sapphire…

A Kate update.
Yesterday saw the release of two official portraits of Prince William and his super stylish bride to be Kate Middleton. Taken by Mario Testino, the two shots show the happy couple in both formal and informal poses, and are truly beautiful shots.
