Given its emotional and historic weight, fans find it unusual that Kate would set it aside\u2014especially when she has worn it during routine activities like gardening and even scuba diving.<\/p>\n

In place of the heirloom, Kate has been wearing a Cartier \u2018\u00c9tincelle\u2019 band<\/strong> and a diamond eternity ring<\/strong> reportedly gifted by Prince William after the birth of their first son, Prince George. The combined value of these bands is estimated at $10,000<\/strong>\u2014a significant downgrade from the legacy engagement ring.<\/p>\n

While GB News<\/strong> cited \u201cpracticality\u201d as the reason for the switch, online users remain unconvinced. Some speculate this shift reflects emotional distance or marital stress.<\/p>\n
