When Prince Harry and Meghan Markle sealed the deal in a breathtaking royal wedding back in May, the 34-year-old Duke of Sussex started sporting a simple platinum wedding band on his left ring finger. Fast forward a few months, and Harry has been spotted wearing a sleek black band on his right hand. This unexpected addition has left royal fans scratching their heads and wondering what it all means.
Well, folks, here's the scoop. Entertainment Tonight cracked the case and uncovered the origins of Harry's mysterious new piece of bling. If you were thinking it's just a fashion statement, think again. This ring is no ordinary accessory. It's actually an Oura Ring, a high-tech gadget that tracks sleep and activity patterns, delivering all the data straight to a user-friendly smartphone app. Think of it as a mini Fitbit for your finger, but way cooler.

Harry's Love for Jewelry
It’s no secret that Harry has always had a soft spot for jewelry. In fact, he made headlines when he broke royal tradition by choosing to wear a wedding band after his nuptials with Meghan. This decision set him apart from other male members of the royal family, who often steer clear of such accessories. Harry is one of the few men in the royal family to sport a wedding band. His older brother, Prince William, opted out of wearing one when he married Kate Middleton back in 2011. Similarly, their father, Prince Charles, and grandfather, Prince Philip, don’t wear wedding rings either.
Why Do British Men Skip the Wedding Band?
So, what gives? Before you jump to conclusions about love and commitment, let me clear the air. It's simply not the norm for British men to wear wedding rings. Etiquette expert William Hanson explained to Brides that it's quite common for men from upper-class circles in Britain to avoid wearing a wedding band. This isn’t because they're looking for trouble post-marriage, but because traditionally, it wasn't considered gentlemanly to wear jewelry. Now you know!
