Prince William & Princess Kate: Why Don't We See Them Holding Hands

Prince William never wears his wedding ring in public. Plus: We never see him holding hands with his wife Princess Kate. Why is that?

Neither a marital crisis, nor the aesthetics of this particular ring are the reason for Prince William's unwillingness to wear his wedding ring - he simply doesn't like wearing jewellery. According to a Palace aide, "[i]t's all down to personal preference." Marie Claire further states that Prince William had decided against wearing the traditional piece of jewellery even before their wedding day ten years ago.

Now we know why we never see the Duke of Cambridge with his wedding ring. However, this doesn't explain why the royal couple only rarely holds hands...
