The Duchess of Sussex posted the photo to her lifestyle brand As Ever’s official Instagram account with the clever pun “Simplici-tea” as the caption.

But according to Schiffman’s Jewelers, the wedding ring is traditionally put on first.

They add on the practical side this is so it’s then easier to clean the engagement gems.
