And Kate reconciled? What stops Prince William from wearing an engagement ring?

Without a doubt, Prince William understands what romantic jewelry is for, why people cherish it, and what it symbolizes. After all, it is no coincidence that after the death of Princess Diana, with the permission of her father, he chose her mother’s engagement ring with a Ceylon sapphire from the royal treasury. However, the prince of the family himself does not wear anything on his “wedding” finger. And he has a particular reason for that.

Of course, you know that same Lady Di sapphire ring was an engagement gift for Kate Middleton – and the Duchess is not parting with it. She only slightly reduced the decoration: the ring was too big for skinny-boned Kate.

Prince William’s wife wears three rings on her ring finger at the same time. All are gifts from her husband. A thin Welsh gold ring he put on her on her wedding day, he usually comes first; The Duchess is wearing Diana’s engagement ring next, and the third is a heavily diamond-encrusted white gold ring. Middleton received this special in honor of the birth of her first child, Prince George.

It turns out that Kate wears “tricky jewelry” for both herself and her husband – because no one has ever seen a wedding ring on her finger. But this is not disrespectful to tradition or, moreover, to his wife – Kate is completely calm that William’s hands are clean.

The prince is unlikely to think of pretending to be a bachelor, here the duchess can be calm. And William quite officially explained the reason for refusing the “engagement ring” to all British people: he can’t stand jewelry on his hands, and even watches often bother the prince.

By the way, in the Anglican tradition of marriage, there is only one ring – the bride. Prince Philip, who has been married to Queen Elizabeth for over 70 years, has also never worn a ring. But Princes Charles and Harry still wear wedding rings, and wear them the same way, alongside the coat of arms.

Who would have thought that this is what unites a father to a son and separates him from another!
