The Princess of Wales appears to have poignantly swapped her sapphire engagement ring for an eternity band in the video announcing she is cancer free.
Kate, 42, appeared in the video alongside her family as she reflected on her cancer journey and announced her return to “light” duty.
Eagle-eyed royal fans noticed that instead of wearing the engagement ring that had once belonged to Princess Diana, Kate wore an eternity ring.
It has now been suggested by some that this was a deliberate choice to reflect her “fresh start” now that her chemotherapy has come to an end.
The announcement comes amid the claim that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are planning their third foreign trip of the year.
An insider told Hello! magazine that the couple intend to visit Lesotho or Botswana as potential next destinations.
This is where Harry’s charity Sentebale operates, and it has been some time since he last visited the countries in 2019.
Established in 2006, the Sentebale helps young people come to terms with aids and HIV diagnoses.

Prince William wants marriage to Kate to ‘last forever'
A British photographer has claimed that Prince William once told him that he took his time proposing to the Princess of Wales as he wanted the union to “last forever”.
Arthur Edwards told The Sun: “Once William told me the reason he and Kate took their time getting engaged was because he wanted to make sure his marriage would last forever.”
The future king and queen famously split for a few months in 2007 when William felt unable to propose because of his age before quicky reconciling.

Royal fans have now suggested that this was a deliberate choice to reflect a “fresh start” for the princess now that her chemotherapy has come to an end.

Harry ‘frightened’ by possible outcome of UK security battle
The Duke of Sussex is “frightened” by the potential outcome of his ongoing battle to have his taxpayer-funded security in the UK reinstated.
According to reports, this is a matter of the utmost importance for Harry, who turns 40 this month, as he wishes to return to the UK more often.

Meghan Markle slammed for ‘tasteless’ decision on late queen’s anniversary
The Duchess of Sussex has been slammed for appearing at a book club event with Oprah Winfrey on the anniversary of the late Queen Elizabeth II’s death.
As reported by the Express, royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliam described the California appearance as a “dreadful mistake”.
He said: “I think it was an absolutely dreadful choice of venue to appear at, especially on a very special anniversary.
“I mean, we all know that when Meghan and Harry gave the interview on Oprah, which is infamous.
“Although they didn’t plan this, by the time the interview aired, Prince Philip was in hospital. We know that he died shortly afterwards.
“We also know that the interview was like exploding a nuclear weapon in the courtyard of Buckingham Palace.
“What is remembered is that the Queen’s comments. ‘Some recollections may vary’ sums it up very well. But that was absolutely tasteless place to be seen.
“We know that Meghan and Oprah are friends, but to be seen in a place which brought back memories of that interview on that anniversary is just extraordinary.”
