Prince William Refused To Wear A Wedding Ring Because Of His Preference

A statement from Buckingham Palace also shared details on Kate Middleton’s ring.

“Prince William and Catherine Middleton chose Wartski to make the wedding ring for Miss Middleton. The ring has been fashioned from a piece of Welsh gold that was given to Prince William by the Queen shortly after the engagement was announced. The ring will be carried to Westminster Abbey by Prince William’s best man Prince Harry on the wedding day. There will only be one ring in accordance with the couple’s wishes,” the statement read (via Express).

A palace insider told Mirror that Prince William’s decision not to wear a ring boiled down to his personal preference.

“He’s not one for jewelry. He’s never worn any. He decided he didn’t want to wear one now. It’s all down to personal preference,” the source said.

The publication also claimed that the Duchess of Cambridge supports her husband’s decision not to wear a wedding ring.

Prince Harry And Prince Charles Wear Their Wedding Rings In Public

On the other hand, Prince Harry broke royal tradition by wearing a wedding ring just like his wife, Meghan Markle. The Duke of Sussex also broke tradition with the ring that he chose because it’s unlike the usual Welsh gold color that’s favored by the royal family.

He and Markle are currently sporting a modern, platinum-designed ring

"Ms. Markle's ring has been fashioned from a piece of Welsh Gold, gifted by Her Majesty The Queen. Prince Harry's ring will be a Platinum Band with a textured finish. Both rings were crafted in the Cleave workshop,” the palace revealed ahead of Prince Harry and Markle’s wedding (via Hello! magazine).

Just like Prince Harry, Prince Charles also wears a wedding ring. But he places it on his pinky finger together with his signet ring.

While speaking with Town & Country, royal expert Marlene Koenig said that there’s no issue if a male member of the royal family wants to wear a wedding ring or not.

“There is no royal tradition for men wearing or not wearing a wedding ring. I’m unaware of any royal woman not wearing a wedding ring,” she said.
