Princess Kate Middleton Flaunts Her New Eternity Band In Surprise Olympics Video – News18

It seems Kate Middleton might have a new addition to her jewellery collection, potentially gifted by Prince William. Recently, the Prince and Princess of Wales made a brief appearance in a video message to congratulate Team Great Britain on their success at the Paris Olympics 2024. Although they did not attend the Olympics in person, their virtual message caught the attention of royal watchers for more than just their warm words. It was what Kate Middleton was wearing on her finger that sparked intrigue.

In the short clip, Kate Middleton looked stunning in a white and navy blue striped top, while Prince William donned a blue t-shirt. However, viewers spotted a new ring on Kate’s left hand. The ring featured interspersed dark and light gems and was stacked with what appeared to be a white ring and two gold bands. One of these bands could be her Welsh gold wedding ring, which she received from Prince William during their wedding in April 2011.

The ring’s exact stone hues were difficult to detect, but that didn’t stop royal fans from speculating. Some suggested the darker stones could be garnets, Princess Kate’s birthstone, as she was born in January. Others guessed they might be sapphires, a fitting choice to complement her famous sapphire and diamond engagement ring, which once belonged to Princess Diana. A user on the X platform (formerly known as Twitter) wrote, “I believe this is the Promise Ring that William gave Catherine many (many, many) years ago. The Promise Ring is a rose gold ring designed with pearls (William’s birthstone in June) and multiple garnets (Kate’s January birthstone).”

Another user mentioned, “If I remember correctly, there is the wedding band made from a nugget of Welsh gold (as every member of the Royal Family has their band made from this gold), and an eternity ring gifted by William.”

Kate Middleton’s rings are some of the most talked-about in her jewellery collection, especially her iconic engagement ring. It features a large sapphire surrounded by white diamonds and once belonged to Prince William’s late mother, Princess Diana.

Kate’s promise ring, gifted by Prince William during their university days, includes pearls to represent William’s June birthday and garnets for Kate’s January birthday. According to the site Dress Like A Duchess, Kate first wore the promise ring on her graduation day in June 2005.
