While his brother Prince William does not wear a wedding ring, Prince Charles always wears his, like Harry. His late grandfather Prince Philip also never wore his wedding ring.
She added: “It is also common for men to play with their wedding band as Harry is doing in these poses and this gesture has more emotional significance than a more general 'calming touch'. “When Harry reaches for his wedding band he is seeking the comfort and support from his wife and children.
Penny Junor, author of The Duchess: Camilla Parker Bowles and the Love Affair that Rocked the Crown, told Vogue "the Palace issued a statement before their wedding saying so." Why? He simply isn't into bling. "He's not one for jewelry," an insider told The Mirror shortly before the big day. "He's never worn any.
During last night's event, Meghan was simply wearing her wedding band, which is in yellow gold to match Prince Harry's, and an eternity ring, which she began wearing after her son Archie was born.
Meghan's yellow gold engagement ring band, which Harry said he had chosen because it was her favorite, had been replaced with a thin micro-pavé band.
Following Diana's death in August 1997, the sapphire ring was inherited by her son Prince Harry, who eventually offered it to his older brother Prince William before he proposed to Kate Middleton with it in 2010.
Harry allegedly requested the engagement ring because "'that's the ring I remember from my childhood. '" On what happened next, Burrell said the brothers must have struck a deal. "Harry obviously gave up his treasure to his brother so that it could be on the ring finger of his wife who would one day be Queen."
Meghan has been seen wearing several pieces that once belonged to her late mother-in-law Princess Diana. From her spellbinding engagement ring, to diamond sets and vintage watches, several of the former Princess of Wales' jewels have been gifted to Meghan by her husband, Prince Harry.
Eagle-eyed royal fans might have noticed that Kate typically layers not one but three rings on her wedding finger. In addition to the gold band and her engagement sapphire, the Duchess now wears an eternity ring, specifically the Eclipse diamond eternity ring, made from 18 carat white gold, by Annoushka.
Why Prince William Doesn't Wear a Wedding Ring, But Kate Middleton Does. Kate Middleton, like most married women, wears a wedding ring. Granted, it's not as noticeable as her 12-carat sapphire-and-diamond piece, but it's there, nonetheless: an 18-karat band made of Welsh gold.
Princess Diana's wedding ring followed royal tradition in that it was made from a nugget of Welsh gold that has been in the family for centuries. (Meghan Markle, Kate Middleton, and Queen Elizabeth, among others, all received wedding bands from that same piece of gold.)
If tradition prevails, most of the Queen's personal jewels will be passed on to King Charles III and Queen Camilla. It is speculated that Catherine, Princess of Wales will also receive some of the jewels as she will eventually be Queen.
The engagement ring Camilla received from Prince Charles is an emerald-cut diamond ring surrounded by smaller diamonds, set in 18-karat gold. The design of the ring is said to be inspired by the engagement ring ofQueen Elizabeth. The Queen Mother owned Camilla's wedding band and frequently wore it in the 1980s.
Prince Harry's bond with Queen Elizabeth II has remained strong through the years, despite his decision to step away from his senior position within the royal family along with his wife, Meghan Markle.
Prince Philip, Prince William and Princess Anne's husband Timothy Laurence do not wear wedding rings, though Prince Philip does wear his family signet ring. Speaking to the Daily Mail, a spokesperson revealed that it's a choice “down to personal preference.”
PEOPLE exclusively confirms that Harry is wearing the Oura Ring — a sleep and activity tracker that identifies various stages of sleep and connects to an app on your smartphone that shares your data.
Royal expert Katie Nicholl explained that, again, in typical royal fashion, “there is a hierarchy in all of this,” she says. “The Queen Consort, really, gets first choice of the Queen's jewelry. And after that is Princess of Wales, of course, Kate.
Perhaps Meghan chose to leave the special rock at home to prevent overwhelming her glamorous look with too much sparkle – after all, the Duchess' style is synonymous with minimalist accessories and modern lines.

According to The Telegraph, white pearls are thought to be symbolic of tears and are officially worn by the royal family when in mourning. The tradition is said to date back to the late 1800s, during Queen Victoria's reign.
The last time this stunning piece was seen in public was the Met Gala in 1996. The beautiful choker is now owned by Prince William and Prince Harry.
As for why the Queen left Meghan out of her inheritance, Radar Online's source speculated that it could be due to either “practicality” or Harry and Meghan's drama with the British royal family in the years leading up to the Queen's death.
It is said Meghan Markle now owns the impressive aquamarine ring, which adds to her collection of other jewellery gifted to her by Harry from Princess Diana's royal jewellery collection. Prince Harry gave this to his wife Meghan as her 'something blue' to be worn on her wedding day.
The ring reportedly was found in the wreckage of the Mercedes and given to Diana's sisters when they came to Paris to accompany her body back to England.
Diana continued to wear the ring even after her divorce from Prince Charles. When Prince William proposed to Catherine Middleton in the autumn of 2010 in Kenya, he gave her the ring.
After Meghan had her first child, she added a diamond band to her center three stones. It is rumored that she may have also added a scalloped hidden halo design to the center stones as well! It is believed that the royal couple upgraded the engagement ring's diamond band so that it matched Meghan's anniversary band.
