Fans Are Upset As New Video Exposes Bizarre Princess Catherine’s ‘Disappeared’ Mystery
Princess Catherine and the Legacy of Princess Diana: A Royal Mystery
Catherine Middleton made history in 2022 by becoming the first Princess of Wales in nearly a century to receive a rare royal distinction. While she inherited the title once held by Princess Diana, she is also forging her own path, carrying forward Diana’s legacy of humanitarian work and her deep commitment to charitable causes.
Princess Diana, known as the “People’s Princess,” left an indelible mark on history with her tireless dedication to various charities and her ability to bring comfort to those in need. She was patron of over 100 charities and became famous for her visits to hospitals across the UK, where her presence uplifted the spirits of both patients and staff. Catherine, now the Princess of Wales, seems determined to continue her mother-in-law’s compassionate legacy.
Recently, a video of the Princess of Wales captured the public’s attention, and one curious detail about her appearance has sparked widespread discussion. As part of a notable engagement this week, Catherine visited the Royal Marsden Hospital in London—an institution she holds close to her heart, having received treatment there herself. It was also revealed that Catherine is now in remission. But while her visit was widely praised, eagle-eyed royal watchers noticed something strange: Catherine wasn’t wearing Princess Diana’s iconic engagement ring. Instead, she sported a different piece of royal jewelry.
This missing ring, which once belonged to Diana, is undoubtedly one of the most famous engagement rings in the world—a 12-carat sapphire surrounded by diamonds. In recent months, the ring has mysteriously disappeared and reappeared on Catherine’s finger. The mystery surrounding its absence became particularly notable when Catherine posed for a Mother’s Day photo without the ring, leading to rampant speculation.
On this occasion, Catherine opted to wear a sapphire and diamond eternity band, a ring reportedly gifted to her by Prince William. This is the third time she has been seen publicly wearing this particular piece of jewelry. The first sighting of the eternity band was in August 2024, when Catherine showed her support for Team Great Britain at the 2024 Paris Olympics. The second appearance of the ring was during a hospital visit to meet the families of stabbing victims in Southport. On her third public appearance with the ring, Catherine visited the Royal Marsden Hospital, replacing the iconic engagement ring.
One possible explanation for the absence of Diana’s engagement ring could be cleanliness or hygiene concerns. For health and safety reasons, it is believed that Catherine refrained from wearing the ring during her hospital visits. Her last major solo engagement, in 2023, was to open the Children’s Day Surgery Unit at Evelina London Children’s Hospital, where she wore her engagement ring while interacting with children and staff. Prior to that, she had worn it during a visit to the Royal Liverpool University Hospital in January 2023.
Although the Princess’s decision to leave the ring behind may have been influenced by medical guidance, the ongoing mystery around the ring continues to intrigue royal fans. The eternity band Catherine chose to wear is strikingly similar to Diana’s engagement ring, featuring sapphires and diamonds. It also bears resemblance to a promise ring Prince William gave Catherine during their time at university, a ring with garnets and pearls—representing their birthstones.
During her visit to the Royal Marsden Hospital, Catherine met with patients, thanking staff for their exceptional care and support. Kensington Palace announced that Catherine will join Prince William as the joint Royal Patron of the Marsden, a role once held by Diana. Diana, who was appointed patron of the Royal Marsden NHS Foundation in 1989, continued her work there until her tragic death in 1997. However, her interest in the hospital began long before she became its official patron.
As Catherine steps into this role, she not only carries on Diana’s work but also maintains the legacy of kindness and dedication that defined her late mother-in-law’s life.
