At the late Duchess of Kent’s funeral last week, the Princess of Wales offered a deeply personal tribute to Prince William through the rings she wore.
On her left hand, she stacked five bands on her engagement finger – each one charting a different chapter in her and Prince William’s journey together.
Collectively, each individual ring tells a story of young love, marriage, motherhood, duty, and endurance through adversity.
More recently, she has been seen wearing a second eternity band – a sapphire and diamond design given by William last year after she completed chemotherapy.
This new ring is believed to symbolise renewal, resilience, and the strength they found together during her health battle. Perhaps the most touching detail of all is the fifth ring – her pearl and garnet promise ring from her university days.
