Kate Middleton sported a dazzling new citrine ring at Royal wedding



She thriftily recycled a primrose yellow Alexander McQueen for Meghan and Harry's wedding, but the Duchess of Cambridge was yesterday sporting an eye-catching new accessory.



The new mother showed off a new ring on her right hand, which appeared to featured a large citrine stone, which is said to represent new life and warmth and carry the power of the sun.



Her previously unseen bauble may well have been a gift from Prince William after the birth of their third child Prince Louis who was born just over three weeks before the wedding.



It's becoming increasingly common for fathers to give a 'push present' as a token of appreciation for their partner after enduring labour.



Prince Louis, the youngest member of the royal family, was not seen at yesterday's ceremony and it's thought he was cared for by nanny Maria Borrallo during the formalities. 



Kate yesterday teamed her McQueen jacket with an oversized Philip Treacy hat and Jimmy Choo heels at the wedding of the year.



She was first seen in the designer piece for the christening of Princess Charlotte back in July 2015, and then wore it again a year later for the Trooping of the Colour in June 2016.





She was seen most recently wearing it at the Passchendaele commemoration service during a visit to Belgium back in July last year.



While Kate was not an official bridesmaid, the mother-of-three could be seen guiding her children Charlotte, three, and George, four, who were flower girl and pageboy, down the aisle.



The Duchess was accompanied by fellow mum Jessica Mulroney, who was also helping to assemble her children who are also part of the bridal party.



The Cambridge's nanny Maria Borrallo was also on hand to support the royal children in their wedding duties.



Ahead of bride Meghan's arrival, the bridesmaids and pageboys were ushered in by Kate, who helped coax them into their positions with an encouraging hand on their shoulder.





The 36-year-old royal took her seat alongside Prince Charles and Camilla for the ceremony as her husband Prince William took his place as best man next to the groom.



The trio could be seen singing in hymns as part of the ceremony ahead of the Meghan and Harry's reception at Frogmore house later this afternoon.



The Duchess of Cambridge is still on her official maternity leave which began at the end of March.



Aside from Thursday's wedding rehearsal and yesterday's ceremony, she may appear at some family occasions during the summer.



However, she is not expected to return to official duties until the autumn, according to aides, and even then her 'primary focus' will be her children.
