Why Kate Middleton isn’t wearing her engagement ring while self-isolating

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge recently took to Instagram to share images of them working from their home offices during the Covid-19 pandemic.But, eagle eyed fans were quick to notice that in one of the photos Kate Middleton wasn’t wearing her engagement ring.The duchess was pictured sitting at her desk talking on the phone.She was wearing the coral Marks & Spencer suit that she wore on a recent royal engagement to visit the NHS call centre and had her hair down in her trademark blowout..However, in place of her sapphire sparkler that previously belonged to her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana, Kate was only sporting a simple gold band.According to People her decision to forgo the engagement ring while the family are social distancing is actually a very wise decisio.This isn’t the first time the Duchess of Cambridge chose not to wear her engagement ring.





During a visit to Evelina London Children’s Hospital in January, Kate slipped off her sparklers in adherence with the hospital’s policy on minimal jewelry.Since she would have to cleanse her hands thoroughly before touring the wards and treatment areas, it is recommended to remove jewelry before entering.Kate’s stunning engagement ring often comes off during hospital visits, dating back to the year she and Prince William tied the knot.While opening the Great Ormond Street Hospital’s Mittal Children’s Medical Centre in Jan. 2018, she also opted to leave the accessory behind.Kate’s ring is a sight to behold, consisting of 14 solitaire diamonds surrounding a 12-carat oval blue Ceylon sapphire set in 18-karat white gold.Her gold wedding band, however, which she usually wears along with her engagement ring, is much more simple.The Welsh gold wedding ring is an 88-year-old royal tradition, dating back to Elizabeth Bowes Lyon and the future George VI.In 1923, the royal ring was fashioned from a gift of Clogau gold with enough left over for the weddings of the Queen in 1947 as well as those of the late Princess Margaret, Princess Anne and Princess Diana.And just before Kate’s royal wedding to Prince William, the palace announced that her wedding ring would also be made of Welsh gold.Studies have revealed that it could aid in the effectiveness of handwashing, which helps prevent the spread of Coronavirus.Yep, according to a 2018 study by Georgia State University, rings can create “a protected area [on the skin] in which bacteria can flourish.” It also found that those who didn’t wear rings were more likely to kill bacteria when washing their hands.Other experts have also encouraged people to remove rings when washing hands.In a situation where we are in extraordinary measures to limit Covid-19 transmission, I think removal of rings/jewellery when washing hands — or perhaps limiting their wear altogether right now — represents a wise move forward," Rochelle Walensky, chief of the division of infectious diseases at Massachusetts General Hospital, told USA Today.






Of course, this isn’t the first time the duchess has removed her engagement ring. She also removed it earlier this year to visit Evelina London Children’s Hospital as they have a policy on wearing minimal jewellery.Kate often leaves her ring behind during hospital visits which could again be due to the fact that she would likely have to wash her hands before touring the wards.

Chamisa's lawyer spoke out about Mnangagwa's fraud evidence during the election

OPPOSITION MDC leader Nelson Chamisa will launch a renewed bid to oust President Emmerson Mnangagwa by seeking to have the Constitutional Court (ConCourt) review its own judgment based on “new evidence.”.Chamisa’s lawyer Thabani Mpofu said after studying academic works on the elections published by self-exiled former minister Jonathan Moyo, they were now making efforts to have the judgment on the 2018 presidential elections set aside.The country’s top court ruled that Chamisa had failed to prove allegations of fraud during the presidential election, a vote which left the nation polarised and violence on the streets of the capital Harare.Mpofu said the basis of approaching the ConCourt was because they now believe that the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (Zec) presented to the courts false information and, therefore, their call for the judgment to be set aside.“The general rule is that once a final judgment or order has been given, the judge who gave it or any other judge of parallel juri...

The former First Lady ganged up with the G40 faction of ZANU-PF....
