Princess Kate surprised everyone with her appearance in a new video celebrating Team Great Britain at the Paris 2024 Olympics. Fans quickly noticed that instead of her iconic sapphire-and-diamond engagement ring, she was wearing a stunning eternity band. This band, made of gold and adorned with white diamonds and sapphires, is a more casual yet elegant choice.
The new eternity band bears a striking resemblance to the promise ring that Prince William gave Kate when they were still college students at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland. That ring was a rose gold Victorian band with garnets and pearls, symbolizing Kate and William’s birthstones.
It is unclear when Kate received this beautiful eternity band, but some speculate that it may have been a gift from William to mark their 13th wedding anniversary on April 29. In the video, Kate paired the band with a white and black striped top from Ralph Lauren, while William sported a light blue Team Great Britain polo shirt.
This rare appearance of Princess Kate in the video comes as she continues her preventative treatment for cancer, which she disclosed in March through an emotional video statement. The outfit she wore in the video was reminiscent of the one she wore during that announcement, showing her strength and resilience.
In the video, Kate and William congratulated Team GB for their achievements and expressed their admiration for the athletes. This heartfelt message was well-received by fans, who appreciate the royal couple’s support for the Olympic team.
