Royal ladies wear some of the most beautiful jewels in the world. We’ve seen them in sparkling tiaras, dazzling necklaces, and of course, stunning diamond engagement rings.
The Princess of Wales (formerly known as Kate Middleton) is rarely seen without her iconic engagement ring, which once belonged to Princess Diana. But another royal is rarely photographed with her ring on.
Here’s who that is and why she barely wears it in public.

Queen Camilla is the latest British royal to go to Wimbledon. Following Kate Middleton’s appearance at the tennis tournament earlier in July 2023, the former Duchess of Cornwall sat courtside. However, the recently crowned queen didn’t maintain the royal family’s signature stoicism. Instead, Queen Camilla made “unusual” and “spontaneous” expressions after years of “suppressing her emotions in public.”

“The Fragile Colossus,” “Ten Pound Poms” and “The Seed” ruled the roost at this year’s Monte-Carlo Television Festival, with the three programs collecting two prizes each at a small-screen showcase that ran June 16 – 20 in the Monaco capital.

The first thing to know about urology? It involves more than men and their penises.
“People think urology super narrow, but it’s actually broad,” Milhouse said. In addition to dealing with “any kind of urinary issue” for men and women, urologists can treat sexual health issues in both genders, such as male infertility or pain during intercourse.

While it may not be the norm nowadays, marriage between family members was a common practice among the royals in the past. And it still happens to some extent even today. From King Charles III and Princess Diana to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, here’s a breakdown of some of the most famous related royal couples, along with some insight into why the British royal family continues to marry distant family members.
Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth II | Tim Graham/Getty Images The practice of royals marrying within the family has been around for centuries
Centuries ago, the practice of marrying close relatives was widespread among the royal (and wealthy) families in Europe, as well as in other parts of the world.

Off to school! The royal children of Prince William and Kate Middleton kicked off their new school year on Wednesday.
Prince George, 9, Princess Charlotte, 7, and Prince Louis, 4, attended a “settling in afternoon” for new students at the Lambrook School, and were accompanied by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge for the special day, Kensington Palace announced Wednesday afternoon.
The family was in high spirits as they walked through campus. George and Louis twinned in adorable school uniforms — including white, checkered button-down shirts, blue shorts and black shoes — while Charlotte was all smiles as she wore her hair back in braids and a uniform dress.
With their mom in a gorgeous white-and-copper polka dot dress and their royal dad styling in a navy suit, sans tie, the happy family looked picture perfect.

"House of the Dragon" dives deep into "Game of Thrones" lore and the centuries-ago rule of House Targaryen. That Targaryen-centric storytelling also means that the prequel series is, inevitably, spending significant time on one of the more uncomfortable aspects of that royal house's culture: incestuous marriages.
The Targaryens' History of Incestuous Marriage, Explained
According to George R.R. Martin's books, House Targaryen's practice of incest dates back to their Valyrian origins, where the practice was more common and accepted. The idea is that they can keep their bloodlines "pure," preserving both their social status and their dragon-riding abilities, by avoiding the dilution of their power with outsiders. Their "preferred" marriages wed siblings to one another, but in some cases, the marriages might involve uncles and nieces or aunts and nephews. Targaryen cousins also may wed on occasion, although this is no different from the rest of Westeros, where even first...

It’s been almost a week dodging raindrops and “No Selfies on the Red Carpet” warnings at the Cannes Film Festival, where all cylinders seem to be firing for filmmakers, sales agents and news-making stars in town.
The banished-ish Lars von Trier returns to the festival after a seven year absence over a press conference blunder where the director said he had some sympathy for Adolf Hitler.
His latest, “The House That Jack Built,” has a first look trailer — and, as social media tells it, has festival organizers preparing for extreme reactions from the crowd.

Charlene Wittstock became the princess of Monaco when she married Prince Albert II at the Prince's Palace of Monaco back in July 2011, but she almost didn't make it down the aisle. Just a week before the extravagant affair, it was reported that the former South African Olympic swimmer, who was 33 at the time, tried to escape Monaco and had her passport seized by police at the airport in France. The alleged attempt came amid rumors that Albert had fathered a third illegitimate child when they were together (Albert, who is 20 years her senior, is also father to daughter Jazmin Grace Grimaldi and son Alexandre Grimaldi-Coste from previous relationships). "Charlene had her passport confiscated so that the prince's entourage could persuade her to stay," a senior detective in Monaco previously told the UK's Daily Mail. The publication also stated that Charlene sought refuge in the South African Embassy two months prior to the wedding,...

Ever wonder what it's really like to live like royalty? Well, according to this new video posted to the Prince's Palace of Monaco's Facebook page on Thursday, it's pretty amazing. In the video, which is in celebration of Monaco's 75th Grand Prix, Princess Charlene and her husband, Prince Albert II, open up about the prestigious and glamorous event. While Charlene arrives by boat (and stuns in a gorgeous halter top, sunglasses, and red lipstick), Albert flies in on a helicopter. The couple then join past Grand Prix winners David Coulthard and Mark Webber at the Monaco Yacht Club to talk about their favorite memories from the auto race's past. The video, which could easily double as a Hollywood film, also features appearances by Irish racing legend Eddie Jordan and sports journalist Steve Jones.

Image Source: Getty / Bettmann Fairy tales might not be real, but Grace Kelly came as close as a person can to truly living one. The Rear Window actress, who grew up in an affluent Philadelphia family, ended up leaving behind her booming Hollywood film career to marry a real-life royal, Prince Rainier III of Monaco, after a whirlwind year of courtship. So, how did Grace meet Prince Rainier, exactly? Well, there likely never would have been a connection between the two without the Cannes Film Festival. Ahead of the glamorous annual movie event in 1955, biographers have claimed that Prince Rainier was looking for an American wife specifically. Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis allegedly suggested he marry Marilyn Monroe, who was apparently keen on the match herself, but the prince rejected the idea since he didn't find her public image dignified enough for his family (though it has never been confirmed...

Despite the high-profile guest list - which included Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia of Sweden and Prince Albert and Princess Charlene of Monaco - it was the couple's 11-year-old grandson, Prince Sverre Magnus, who stole the show with his antics on the balcony of the Royal Palace. On Tuesday, Sverre was either really bored or really excited by the giant crowd of well-wishers that formed in front of the palace, because he started acting pretty extra while up there with the rest of his family. A video on Twitter showed the young royal throwing peace signs (innocent enough) before hitting a dab for the fans (and you thought the dab was over, huh?)

Princess Charlene turned the Sainte Devote Rugby Tournament in Monaco on Saturday into a royal family affair when she stepped out with husband Prince Albert II and 2-year-old Princess Gabriella. While the trio wasn't as animated as Kate Middleton and Prince William at a rugby match in Paris, the trio put on a sweet display as Gabriella cuddled up with her mom and buried her little head in her shoulder. Prior to the game, Albert and Charlene met with the teams and posed for pictures on the field. Unfortunately, Gabriella's twin brother, Prince Jacques, wasn't in attendance, but we did catch an adorable glimpse of him during a church service back in January.
