The Duke of Sussex was among the VIP
guests at the Super Bowl on Sunday and mingled with
stars including singer Mickey Guyton and comedian Cedric The
Entertainer.
In snaps shared on Instagram, Prince Harry, 37, could be seen
greeting Cedric, with his distinctive wedding ring on display. But did you know
that the royal decided against the following tradition when it came to his
jewellery?
Harry opted for a modern, platinum wedding ring for his marriage
to Meghan Markle in May 2018, rather
than the classic Welsh gold usually favoured by his family.

The couple chose court jewellers Cleave and Company to create their
wedding jewellery, which the palace revealed in a statement just before the
royal wedding.
The notice read: “Ms. Markle’s ring has been fashioned from a piece
of Welsh Gold, gifted by Her Majesty, the Queen. Prince Harry’s ring will be a
Platinum Band with a textured finish. Both rings were crafted in the Cleave
workshop.”

Harry’s father, the Prince of Wales uniquely chooses to wear his gold wedding
band on his pinky finger, alongside his treasured signet ring. And in contrast,
the Duke of Cambridge doesn’t wear a wedding ring,
like his late great-grandfather, the Duke of Edinburgh. The decision was said to be down to a
personal preference.
Prince Harry was joined by his cousin, Princess Eugenie, at the SoFi Stadium in Inglewood,
California. Eugenie’s husband, Jack Brooksbank, and their one-year-old son, August, have reportedly joined her in the US, but they and
Harry’s wife Meghan were not present at the Super Bowl.
