Untold truth about King Charles' ring revealed

Among all the royal symbols and monuments, nothing signals royal tradition and personal continuity more than the signet ring on King Charles III’s hand.

Charles wears the ring on the left hand. He wears the ring as a royal tradition and as a personal tribute to his father Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.

The 76-year-old was and still is, the owner of the ring. Given to him because the ring bears the Prince of Wales’s feathers, he has grown with it and Charles is signet ring.

Charles has tradition to uphold along with signet rings to his royal lineage and it certainly taught and passed on from his father, Prince Philip.

Moreover, Charles signet ring, along with the rest of his rings, is a royal relic and Charles an heritage.

The signet ring is not merely an accessory to King Charles according to the royal historian Hugo Vickers. It is an obvious connection to his former status as Prince of Wales and a connection to the heritage of service of his father.

It reminds him of the duties passed on by generation to generation. This, according to BBC News, goes on to state that despite becoming a king, Charles has still opted to retain the ring on his hand, a pointer of continuity as opposed to change.

In the meantime, The Telegraph emphasises that his crown and robes talk of his power as king, but the plain signet ring speaks of a more personal tale, of filial piety and generational responsibility, of a long-standing legacy of his paternal example.

This modest but significant token of royalty still reverberates with the memory of Prince Philip and the present day and the past meet in a way that could only have been achieved through tradition.
