aisy Knatchbull has announced she is engaged, and took to social media to reveal her very unique ring.
The designer, who is a distant cousin of Prince William and Prince Harry, is set to marry her long-term partner, Italian music executive Giovanni Damiani.
Taking to Instagram, the 33-year-old shared a glimpse of Giovanni’s stunning and thoughtful proposal, writing “Will you marry me?” in the sand using seaweed during a recent beach visit in the Bahamas.
Beaming from ear to ear, Daisy showed off a very sweet engagement ring in the shape of a turtle, writing: “Getting hitched 💍 (and making gift shop turtle rings a thing).”
Daisy wore a floral bikini, while Giovanni looked casual in sunglasses and a shirt. Little is known about the couple’s relationship, but they previously told HELLO! they live together in London.
Giovanni works in music but is a keen cook, with Daisy telling us previously: “We eat a lot of Italian food,” adding: “We’re always having Sunday lunches, barbecues and dinner parties.”

Daisy previously attended her step-sister Phoebe’s wedding
Phoebe chose an intimate wedding with just immediate friends and family on the guest list. The Prince and Princess of Wales did not attend, so it’s not known whether they would attend Daisy’s nuptials.
Daisy previously discussed her “androgynous and timeless” style with HELLO!, giving a glimpse into what her wedding look might look like. She said: “I am a big believer in simple but elevated basics to build a small but mighty wardrobe.” She also said she tries to “avoid anything that is too trend-driven”.
