For the solemn occasion, the Duchess of Sussex kept her look minimal, including her accessories and wedding stack. Meghan only wore her Welsh gold wedding band on her left ring finger, forgoing her engagement ring.Samir Hussein//Getty ImagesPool//Getty ImagesMeghan has a history of wearing just her wedding band while on trips abroad. Still, the piece is nearly priceless itself due to its material.“Very little Welsh gold was ever mined, and it is traditionally used to make the British royal family’s wedding bands,” Hera Fine Jewelry founder and CEO Lauren Boc previously told ELLE while discussing Kate Middleton’s wedding stack. “Between its natural rarity and historic connections, I would consider her Welsh gold wedding band to be close to invaluable.”Meghan accessorized with a few other gold pieces this morning, including her vintage Dior crystal earrings and Cartier Love bracelet.Pool//Getty ImagesMeghan has no other upcoming events that have been announced. Last month, following the Sussexes’ visit to Nottingham, a source close to the couple told The Telegraph that Meghan rarely joins Harry for engagements.“They have different professional priorities,” one source explained. “Prince Harry’s is his philanthropic work and public service. Her focus is on her family and children, followed by her business, followed by rebooting her acting career. Her public appearances will be relatively rare. She is reading a lot of scripts at the moment. If she has time left after all of that, she will do some charity work. But she’s not a working royal; her day isn’t organized around a program pulled together by a private secretary. She’s a full-time mom and entrepreneur, and that alone takes up a lot of time and work.”
