Daisy Knatchbull, third cousin of Prince Harry and Prince William, announced her turtle-themed engagement to music executive Giovanni Damiani on Sunday. “Getting hitched 💍 (And making gift shop turtle rings a thing 🐢),” Knatchbull posted on Instagram alongside an image of her and Damiani showing off her new turtle-shaped ring. The post also featured videos of Damiani proposing to her by writing “Will you marry me?” on the beach with seaweed. Knatchbull is the great-granddaughter of the 1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma, who was Prince Philip’s uncle. A star-studded congratulations were in order for the designer’s upcoming nuptials. Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner commented, “Ahhhhhh 🙌🙌🙌❤️.” Princess Beatrice’s husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, also celebrated the couple, writing an excited “Yipeeeeee. Congratulations ❤️❤️❤️” in the comments. The 33-year-old is best known for founding Knatchbull, a design brand that Kate Middleton was photographed wearing multiple times last year. The brand made its Met Gala debut in 2025 and is best known in Britain for being the first female-only tailor on Savile Row.
