William is the future King of England which includes the title “Defender of the Faith”, i.e., the Church of England and in those capacities he has some responsibilities that should override personal preferences. Lest we forget, marriage is a religious rite. Rings are exchanged and then not worn? Symbolism is very potent. I do not understand this rigid interpretation of “slavery” with ring wearing. That is a very negative take on something that is supposed to be symbolic of the circle of family and life, the infinity of love, our inclusion in the universe created by God, and much, much more. William should set an example. British society is falling to pieces. Wear the bloody ring.
