Kate's missing engagement ring is a 'subtle nod' to relationship with William

Prince William and Kate Middleton attend a public engagement, where fans noticed that Kate was seen without her engagement ring.

The Prince and Princess of Wales visited Southport last week, marking their first joint royal engagement since Princess Kate announced that she has completed her cancer treatment. The royal had undergone chemotherapy earlier this year, and while she made a handful of small public appearances over the summer - including at Trooping the Colour and Wimbledon - she has been recovering privately, and decided against sharing specific information about her return to work.

Kate joined William at a private meeting with families of those affected by the Southport knife attacks in July, and the couple also spoke to emergency service responders. The visit had reportedly been planned as a low-key event to give the Prince time with the victims' loved ones, and Kate's appearance came as a surprise to many.
