Prince William and Kate Middleton have been married for five years now.
Shortly before the wedding, the prince's people released a statement noting that it was going to be a one ring ceremony.
The Duke of Cambridge still lives without a wedding band.
100 years ago, this may not have been a big deal. It wasn't until after the second World War that most Western couples participated in two ring wedding ceremonies.
Prince William discussed his decision with Kate Middleton before they were wed.
Many modern women might worry that a one-ring marriage could symbolize that she was taken but he was still available. Her having a ring could symbolize that she's off limits and "belongs" to someone else while he's still free to be his own person. But this is no ordinary modern couple.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are two of the most recognizable people on the planet.
The way the prince's people explained it, William has simply never liked jewelry. Does a watch count as jewelry, though? Because the Duke is often seen wearing a watch.
