Prince William and Kate Middleton tried to make a statement following Prince Harry’s memoir release by visiting Liverpool. In their first outing after the bombshell book to inaugurate the Royal Liverpool University Hospital, the Prince and Princess of Wales gave out happy vibes. However, the quick tour became famous for all the wrong reasons. The absence of the £400,000 engagement ring from Middleton’s finger gave birth to a lot of controversies and speculations.

While popping the big question back in 2010, Prince William presented his lady love with his late mother Princess Diana’s 12-carat oval sapphire ring. The sentimental jewelry holds a lot of value for the Wales couple and thus there are hardly any times when the Princess is spotted without it. The royal fans were quick to link the ring’s absence with the news of Prince William’s extra-marital affair floating in the media. Is there trouble in paradise?

Why did Kate Middleton remove her engagement ring?
Last month, there were strong rumors about the Prince of Wales’ affair with Rose Hanbury. The model and the future king share a good camaraderie with each other, as they are a part of the same social circle. Though there has been no reaction from the Palace, Prince William’s solo visit to his ex-girlfriend’s wedding in December added fuel to the fire. However, contrary to the speculations, there is no connection between Prince William’s alleged affair and Kate Middleton removing her engagement ring.

The Princess of Wales let go of her precious jewelry for a short period during the tour because of safety and health reasons. It was not recommended for the future queen consort to wear the ring inside the hospital. Meanwhile, along with her engagement ring, Middleton also removed her 18-carat white gold eternity ring.
Prince William and Kate Middleton’s trip to Liverpool was a success as they interacted with the staff and also obliged the fans with selfies. Meanwhile, the couple maintained a dignified silence over the questions regarding Prince Harry’s bombshell book.

During the trip, one of the reporters fired the question as mentioned by Express, “Do you ever plan to comment on Harry’s book, sir?” The Prince and Princess of Wales ignored the reporter as they continued with their official duties.
Do you want the Palace and royal members to speak about the allegations made by Prince Harry? Let us know in the comments.

January 15, 2023 at 5:11 amIf Harry wants to tell all about himself in his so called book. So be it but trying to smear his brother and his wife just shows you a whiney little brat he really is. He just needs to grow up. Megan will never be as pretty and gracious as Kate is.

January 16, 2023 at 11:13 amWhy is it necessary to compare Kate’s and Meghan’s looks and personalities? They are both beautiful, and like her or not, Meghan possesses a charisma and graciousness that few women have. It is because the British media has compared those two women in every possible way, that they were—and still are—so divided.

January 15, 2023 at 7:05 amHarry, and his wife have gone to far by dishing the rest of
the British Royals. Stories in general may be exceptable
But! I feel enough is enough, and has no real reason to continue running his and Megan’s mouth, and the other Royals. Besides, it is sad and boring to hear about these stories
For a person who wanted to get away from their family.
They sure are busy making money off of them.
I liked you, Harry! N0 more !

January 15, 2023 at 9:05 amPrice William & KATE have no need to comment publicly (directly) all the while utilizing the taboid media to speak for them indirectly.
The same goes for Charles & Camilla. They put out their vitriole while trying to keep their hands (reputations) clean. So many people are apparently “drinking their coolaide.”
What we are witnessing is NOT dignity and restraint, but propaganda and indirect revenge while pretending to keep their hands & repretations clean!

January 15, 2023 at 10:05 amThey’re showing their classiness and maturity in.not responding to Harry’s immature accusations. Is Harry the only one that was lost a mother, had a fight with his brother or his father. Resented his stepmother. Thats the reality of life. He makes claims that he wants to reconcile with his family but then he slams them in front of the whole world!! Bravo to the Royal Family for their dignified response to Harry’s silly book.

January 15, 2023 at 6:05 pmThe royal family should continue to show their class and maturity and their royalty by not responding in anyway to what sick. Harry and Megan are saying. We all have our family feud but we don’t all tell the whole world about it. Harry thinks that he is totally right and the rest of the royal family is wrong, it might just be possible that Harry is the wrong one and Megan is responsible for bringing it all out just leave them alone, but take their titles away they don’t deserve them. They are not part of the royal family by their own choosing. It is amazing to me that Harry thinks he can straighten out the entire royal family in the entire monarchy because he thinks he knows all the answers. Let it go Harry!!
