H.R.H. Prince William is now part of the bearhobs family.

This fine looking chap wears full ‘Royal Bear Force’ dress uniform and carries a beautiful crimson leather ring box which is embossed with the names of the lovely couple and the date of their royal wedding.

Inside the box is a gold-plated replica of the famous sapphire and diamond engagement ring which has been engraved with the wording, ‘H.R.H. Prince William & Catherine Middleton, April 29th 2011’.

Bearhobs was lucky enough to have Prince William Bear.

Thanks to the effort of my lovely cousin from London who gave me this most treasured gift. HUGS to you from bearhobs family.
