The British royal family, notably the sons of Princess Diana, are under consistent public scrutiny. The media has taken an even greater interest in them since the conflict between Prince William and Prince Harry became evident. Subsequently, tabloid revelations about the princes and their wives are increasingly frequent.

A fact few were aware of

However, not all tabloid articles solely focus on fraternal disagreement. Occasionally, the media also speculate about potential difficulties in the marriage between Duchess Kate Middleton and Prince William. The speculated cause is purportedly a supposed mistress of the future king. Needless to say, these claims remain unconfirmed.

People who entertain conspiracy theories sometimes note that Prince William does not wear a wedding ring. Yet, there is nothing unusual about this considering he's never owned one. Even prior to their wedding in 2011, the couple declared that only Kate would receive this piece of jewelry made from Welsh gold.

The reason behind Prince William's ringless finger

William's decision not to wear a ring isn't grounded in royal tradition but simply his personal preference.

"He's not fond of jewelry. He's never worn any. He chose not to wear a ring," a source from "Mirror" explained.

And what about Kate's view? She understands and supports her husband's stance. She herself never removes her wedding ring, which she wears alongside Princess Diana's engagement ring. The stunning ring is made out of sapphire.

Interestingly, Prince Harry has a drastically different attitude towards the matter. William's younger brother proudly displays his platinum wedding ring, identical to that of Meghan Markle. This proves not to be the only topic where the brothers' opinions diverge.
