In 2011, after the famous royal couple got married, a spokesperson from the palace explained why the Prince decided to go ringless.
Basically, it’s personal preference, they say, «It was something that the couple discussed but Prince William isn’t one for jewelry.»
In fact, it’s not an uncommon decision among the Royal men. In Britain, men didn’t start wearing wedding bands until World War II,
however the men of the royal family never really adopted the tradition.
Besides Prince Charles, who wears his next to his signet ring, the Duke of Edinburgh and the Duke of Cambridge are sticking with the British upper class tradition of not wearing a ring at all.
