Has it been noticed that for example Prince Charles wears his wedding band n' signet ring on the left hand little finger? Share your feelings on this Royal habit!

It is customary to wear a signet ring on the little finger is some cultures - either on the left or on the right - rather than on the ring finger. The position of the ring, whether it is facing up or not, also indicates the marital status of that person in some countries. Wearing his wedding ring behind his signet ring on his little finger is also not uncommon and is not confined to royals. For years I've worn a signet ring and what is called a "keeper" - a guard rings to prevent the loss of a more valuable one - on my right hand little finger (I'm left-handed).

HRH The Prince of Wales actually had the signet ring before he got engaged to Lady Diana Spencer. There is a photograph at the time of the engagement showing their hands intertwined and their rings [Prince Charles’s signet ring and Diana’s engagement ring] side by side.
It has always been noticed that HRH The Prince of Wales has somewhat stubby fingers, so maybe he is more comfortable having the wedding ring on his little finger with the signet ring than next to each other on adjoining fingers.
