Prince William proposed to Kate Middleton with his mother's iconic sapphire and diamond engagement ring, which she wears with a simple Welsh gold wedding band. Over the years, she's added some diamond bands to her ring stack, but while the Princess of Wales continues to bulk up her left finger, Prince William's has remained ring-free.
Speaking on behalf of Slots Temple, Grant Harrold—who worked as a butler to King Charles at Highgrove House between 2004 and 2011—explains why Prince William opted against a ring, but Prince Harry wears one. "Prince William’s decision to not wear a wedding ring is just down to personal choice, it’s not a royal tradition or rule," he explains.
