Prince William's wedding ring was never seen again on his finger after he wed Kate Middleton in 2012. The Duchess of Cambridge is always wearing hers. What could be the reason why the father of two does not wear his wedding band?
Royal weddings just like any other traditional weddings are made complete with the exchange of wedding rings. It symbolizes unending love. Couples that separate also take off their rings as a symbol of a broken marriage.
But in the case of Prince William and his lovely wife, this is not true because the royal couple is still very much in love after their 5th wedding anniversary.
When asked why he has never worn his wedding band, the answer is just a simple "he prefers not to because he is not into jewelry." It is quite odd that a rich royal family member who can have all the precious jewels in the world does not care about them.
Prince William does not want to wear any jewelry, well, it is his preference as reported by Mirror. But Queen Elizabeth II's husband Prince Phillip is not wearing one too. As for Her Majesty's better half, wedding bands are not yet popular during the time of their wedding. According to OK!, wedding rings became popular during the 60s and 70s with the arrival of men's bracelets and neck chains. He married the Queen in 1947. As for Prince Charles, he wears his wedding ring on the little finger of his left hand.
The origin of the wedding band dates back during World War II when men going to war have to wear their rings to remind them of their wives while on the battle.
Prince William's wedding ring worn or not is not the gauge of his love and devotion to Kate Middleton because he cares enough for his wife. His love for the Duchess is kept secured with what he promised her at their wedding.
