Princess Kate’s missing engagement ring – is this the real reason?

With one of the most iconic engagement rings of all time, the Princess of Wales can’t remove her jewellery without sparking speculation among fans.

Weeks ago, Kate was spotted without her heirloom from Prince William’s late mother Princess Diana as she paid tribute to Team GB following the Olympic closing ceremony in Paris, which marked one of her rare public appearances since she announced she had been diagnosed with cancer.

Now, as she celebrated completing her course of preventative chemotherapy, the Princess has once again swapped her sapphire and diamond ring for an eternity band featuring the same stones. But why is her engagement ring missing? We take a look…

Kate released a touching family video with her husband Prince William and their three kids Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, nine, and Prince Louis, six, as she shared an update on her health.

In one clip, she was wandering through a field in a boho dress by Veronica Beard and running her hands through the long grass, offering a glimpse of her left hand. Take a look…

Where her engagement ring formerly sat was a stack of bands including her Welsh gold wedding band, her diamond eternity ring – thought to be a gift from Prince William following the birth of Prince George – and another thin band, alongside her new sapphire and diamond accessory.

There are several reasons the royal may have chosen to switch up her jewellery collection.
