This is lovely.
Kate Middleton is one of the most talked-about women in the world, from being super mum to her three children to her fashion influence (Kate Middleton effect), with her wardrobe choices selling out in minutes.
The Duchess is known to be a family-oriented royal – ‘very involved’ with her children’s schooling and even implementing a ‘stripped-back’ staff policy.
With Kate turning 40 this weekend and preparing for a ‘scaled-back’ family celebration, her family priorities made news once more. And she made particular headlines for her symbolic jewellery choices as it emerged that the three rings that she wears on her wedding finger have very special meanings.
We’ve all noticed the 12-carat sapphire sparkler surrounded by 14 solitaire diamonds on her ring finger, with the engagement ring being an heirloom from Princess Diana. But on closer inspection, the Duchess of Cambridge wears two more bands alongside it.
One is of course her wedding ring, made of welsh gold, and the other was a sweet present from Prince William.
Yes, the Eclipse Diamond Eternity Ring by Annoushka retailing at £995, is said to be a push present from Prince William. He is said to have given her the white gold band studded with diamonds after the birth of Prince George in 2013.
This is lovely.
