Don't expect to see a wedding band on Prince William's finger after his April 29 wedding to longtime love Kate Middleton, 29.

"There will only be one ring, which is in accordance to the wishes of Prince William and Catherine," a Clarence House spokesperson tells UsMagazine.com.
"It's quite common for there to just be the one ring in society or royal weddings," a source adds. "It's been the same in other royal weddings, so it's not a rare occurrence."
Indeed, Prince Edward and Prince Andrew both chose to wear a signet bearing their Coat of Arms, while Prince Charles — who didn't wear a wedding band while married to Princess Diana — now wears a small ring tucked behind his signet.
