Prince William out without wedding ring: Royal insider makes momentous decision

In addition to her engagement ring, Princess Kate is also wearing her beautiful Welsh gold wedding ring, which she received from her husband more than eleven years ago. Prince William, on the other hand, has never been seen wearing a wedding ring. Palace insiders have now revealed the reason for this.

This is why Prince William doesn’t wear a ring: ‘A matter of personal preference’

The explanation is very simple: the heir to the throne decided not to wear the ring before his wedding. St James’s Palace confirmed that William would not wear the ring a full month before the royal wedding in April 2011.

A palace source explained at the time: “He’s not a fan of jewellery. He’s never worn any. He’s decided he doesn’t want to wear any jewelery now either. It’s all a matter of personal preference.”

A gift from the Queen: Kate’s wedding ring is an heirloom from the royal family

This makes wife Kate’s ring even more important. The reason for this: It is made from a piece of gold that the late Queen Elizabeth II gifted to the couple shortly after announcing their engagement. This is what tradition wants with royal brides.

The insider also revealed that William helped design the ring: “Kate will wear a ring made of Welsh gold that belongs to the royal family and has been melted down. The couple collaborated on the design of the ring.”

Kate supports her husband’s decision and wears her wedding ring proudly

But it is known that the Princess supports William’s decision not to wear the ring. Her husband’s dislike of jewelry does not prevent the future queen from decorating her finger.

She wears the wedding band with her sapphire engagement ring that once belonged to Princess Diana. She also confirmed that the ring is the same as it was when she got married. “It was exactly the same size when I tried it on,” she explained during a two-day trip to Wales.

Unlike Prince William: Harry is often seen with his wedding ring

William clearly differs from his younger brother Harry with his decision not to wear the ring. He is wearing the platinum ring he received on the occasion of his wedding to Meghan Markle in 2018.
