As long as he knows he's married and as long as Kate is alright with him, not wanting to wear a wedding ring it's no one's business

They get their knickers in a knot about this.

Meanwhile, Sharia is creeping into the UK.

Nobody’s business but William and his wife.

I don’t wear one, or a watch, or a necklace, or an ear ring , and my tongue isn’t pierced.

People do not have to adorn themselves with jewelry.

Good point - the real poll should be whether the princess should wear a burka.

The only ring I’m concerned about is the large sapphire that Kate M. wears. It was Diana’s engagement ring and I just think it’s a very unlucky ring. And I don’t believe in good and bad luck - generally. The fact that it wasn’t even put into a new setting also gives me the creeps. That ring did not represent a happy or even very sane marriage.

he is not less married without a ring.

for non-prince williams men, rings are an impediment at work or just plain annoying.

Besides it is more money for jewelry for women.

this time the bride knows the kooky family she is entering and they have a pre-nup.

BTW are we talking about wedding bands or a seperate ring? if it is a seperate ring OTHER than a regular wedding band then it is over the line into fruity territory.

Depending on the job that someone does, a wedding ring or any ring can be dangerous

2 Marriages 2 wedding rings, 1 marriage no ring, guess which one lasted 3x the other two combined? Besides I never was one for jewelery, marriage is more of the heart, not the trinket.

(1) The World War II thing is nonsense: men have been wearing wedding rings since at least the 1000s (certainly earler than that, it was in the 1000s that Church sacramentaries began including a formal blessing specifically for the rings).

(2) Prince William is, in theory, a future head of the Church of England. A wedding ring is part of the Book of Common Prayer ceremony. One may argue that wearing a ring is "his personal choice" - but he considers himself a prince. He is not a purely private individual.

I frequently work with power tools, my wife used to get upset becasue I would take my ring off when at work. I showed her some pictures of the results of people getting rings and other jewelry items caught in equipment.

No arguments after that.

Aside from its fascination due to emotional and monetary value, I find the Di engagement ring to be singularly klutzy and un-stylish.....and impossible to wear with most garb except formal blue-compatible colors.

Hooligans rule GB

Union thugs rule USA

Muslim Brotherhood ruling the middle east

Anarchists running mobs in every country.

All’s well in Obama’s world

What do you mean he considers himself a prince? By that logic any Great Britain can consider him or herself a prince or a princess

They have a pre-nup? Didn’t know that. She is one attractive gal.

He has not renounced the title, so I conclude that he considers himself a prince of England - which carries with it a number of public responsibilities.

Wearing a wedding ring is just an old tradition - like having a royal family.

I don’t care what this idiot does. But, tradition is the only thing that keeps his family living in splendor and wealth. One would think the royals would have the good sense to embrace tradition.

Sooner or later, modern-thinking Brits will decide to do away with the expense of the royalty, and the royal family will all cry “But what of our ancient traditions!?”. lol That’ll be a hard sell if they continue to snub English and Western traditions at every turn...

What’s the big deal? I’m married and don’t wear a wedding ring. Why? Because I have never worn a ring except for the brief times when I put one on and panicked because I felt my finger quickly swelling up. Maybe it was in my mind but any ring on my finger feels highly uncomfortable.
