Princess Kate removes her £390,000 engagement ring at events when there’s ‘great risk’

Kate is not the only royal to remove her engagement ring on occasion, Queen Letizia of Spain, Meghan Markle, Princess Diana and Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh have all been seen without their engagement rings over the years.

Queen Letizia got engaged to Prince Felipe of Spain in 2003 and was married less than a year later.

Since her engagement, the Queen of Spain has rarely been spotted wearing her engagement ring in public. Instead, she regularly opts to wear her Karen Hallam gold-plated ring.

Whilst attending the Commonwealth Day service with the Queen at Westminster Abbey in 2019, Meghan was spotted without her sentimental engagement ring.
