Last week, Princess Catherine made an unannounced trip to town with her husband, Prince William. Despite being one of the most famous women in the world, there was a moment years ago when the Princess of Wales was mistaken for one of Prince William's staff members. Her reaction to this mix-up was truly priceless.
The incident took place during a visit to the Sh Hall care home in Cardiff, where the royal couple met resident Joan Drew Smith. The elderly woman pointed at Catherine and asked William, "Is that your assistant?" Princess Catherine, with her usual grace and humor, handled the situation perfectly. Laughing, she turned to William and said, "Well, I am your assistant! I have been for a long time."
At present, the Prince and Princess of Wales are taking a well-deserved break from royal duties while Princess Catherine undergoes chemotherapy treatment. When they resume their public engagements, photographers will undoubtedly follow their every move, as they are one of the most recognizable couples in the world.
On another note, when it comes to their three children—Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis—the world doesn't often see what they're like behind the scenes. Despite their royal status, they are being raised as normal kids who act up and have fun just like any other children. Catherine and William are focused on raising happy, well-adjusted kids. George and Charlotte are very close and well-behaved, while Louis is known to be the little instigator in the family. George and Charlotte understand that their role is to guide Louis, teaching him right from wrong. However, George still believes that Louis gets away with more than he ever did!
As reported before, Princess Catherine, who grew up outside the royal bubble, is determined to raise her children away from the spotlight. It might surprise people to know how ordinary their home life is. The children help set the table, clear their plates, and tidy up. There’s no preferential treatment, even with their parents’ busy schedules—they personally pick up their kids from school.
Known for her elegant style and meaningful fashion choices, Princess Catherine made some thoughtful wardrobe selections during her emotional visit to Southport. She wore her beloved Catherine Zorida gold fern drop earrings, which she has owned for years and often brings out for significant moments. The fern, symbolizing endurance, resilience, and new beginnings, was a fitting choice, representing hope and strength as she and William stood with the grieving community.
However, what caught the attention of many royal watchers was that Princess Catherine was missing one of her most iconic accessories—her sapphire and diamond engagement ring. This ring, which once belonged to Princess Diana, has been a staple in her public appearances. Yet, in recent months, she has been seen without it on several occasions, sparking curiosity about why she chose to leave it behind. Instead, Catherine opted for a multicolored eternity band—a slim, sparkling ring featuring alternating light and dark gemstones.
Experts believe that the stones in this band could be linked to her children, as rubies, emeralds, and diamonds are aligned with their birthstones. It wouldn’t be surprising if this meaningful new ring symbolizes George, Charlotte, and Louis.
In addition to the eternity band, the Princess wore other significant jewelry pieces, including her Welsh gold wedding band, a white gold and diamond ring from Annoushka, and what appeared to be another diamond band. The absence of her engagement ring and the thoughtful selection of these pieces suggest that Princess Catherine may be using her jewelry to mark personal milestones or to express a deeper connection to her family during this time.
