Crisis among the heirs to the British throne? There’s nothing there!
Attentive fans of the royal family have noticed that Prince William (41) is often seen in public without a wedding ring. In contrast, Kate, Princess of Wales (41) regularly wears her Wartski wedding ring during public appearances.
Now the “Mirror” explains why. And it’s very simple: the Prince of Wales never received a wedding ring.
A month before the royal wedding in 2011, St. James’ Palace confirmed that William would not wear a ring. According to sources close to the prince it was purely a matter of taste.
“He doesn’t wear jewelry. She has never worn any. “She decided she didn’t want to wear one now,” a palace insider revealed at the time.
Kate, on the other hand, wears one made from a piece of Welsh gold. It also has a special meaning: it was made from a piece of gold that was given to the couple by Queen Elizabeth II (†96) shortly after the announcement of their engagement.
Kate wears the sapphire engagement ring along with the wedding band, which once belonged to Princess Diana (†36). As Kate recently revealed, she’s the same ring size as her late mother-in-law’s. So the ring didn’t have to be customized specifically for her.
By the way, not all royal men are like Prince William. Williams’ brother, Prince Harry (39), always wears his wedding ring. His wife Meghan Markle (42), like her sister-in-law Kate, also has a Welsh gold ring.
Princess Kate and Prince William married at Westminster Abbey in April 2011. The couple met and fell in love in 2001 while studying at St. Andrews.
Their relationship is considered strong. Only in 2007 did the couple separate for a few weeks, only to get back together shortly after. They have three children together and have been living at Adelaide Cottage, on the grounds of Windsor Castle, since summer 2022.
