Prince Harry’s Wedding Band Breaks Not 1 but 2 Royal Traditions
When Prince Harry and Meghan Markle tied the knot on May 19, they did everything they could to make the day their own, and that included breaking a few royal rules along the way.
On top of choosing a different cake flavor and making sure the wedding was a multicultural event, Harry also opted to become the first man in his family to wear a wedding band.Men wearing wedding bands is still a relatively modern trend, and the decision to go without one isn't uncommon for members of the royal family.
Prince William notoriously decided not to wear a ring as he "isn't one for jewelry," following in his grandfather's footsteps, and while Prince Charles now wears a signet ring on his pinkie finger, he never wore a ring while he was married to Princess Diana.Harry also decided to break away from another tradition by choosing a platinum band.
