Kate Middleton just wore a special accessory from Prince William during a surprise appearance

The Prince and Princess of Wales, both 42, released a video message on Aug. 11 in support of Team Great Britain as the 2024 Olympics came to a close. Prince William’s rarely-seen beard immediately generated buzz around the internet, but a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it jewelry moment from the Princess of Wales might also make royal followers swoon.

Kate appears to be wearing a promise ring from William, given to her when they were dating as students at the University of St. Andrews in the early 2000s.

According to the site Dress Like a Duchess, long before Prince William gave Kate his mother’s famous sapphire and diamond engagement ring when he proposed in 2010, he gave Kate a pearl and garnet rose gold promise ring, with pearl symbolizing William’s June birthday and garnet symbolizing Kate’s birthday in January

According to Dress Like a Duchess, Kate wore this ring in June 2005 on her graduation day from St. Andrews, where she received a degree in art history. Kate “wore the ring on her middle finger during her youth,” according to Dress Like a Duchess, and, though she rarely wears it, has pulled the promise ring out of her jewelry box even after becoming a working royal, wearing it to royalengagements sparingly. She paired the promise ring with a Max Mara gray wrap dress for a visit to Hope House in 2013, for example, and wore it again that same year to Great Tower Scout Camp, according to the site
