Princess Charlene of Monaco Made a Rare Appearance in Her Engagement Ring

Kate Middleton may get credited as the British royal family's sportiest member, but Princess Charlene of Monaco certainly takes the title among the Monegasque royals. The princess, herself a former Olympic swimmer, has shown a strong dedication to encouraging athletics, especially in youth sports, since marrying into Monaco's royal family.

This weekend, Charlene proved her sporty status—and her flawless spectator style—once again when she attended the annual Sainte Devote Rugby Tournament.

Organized in partnership with the Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation, the tournament brings together rugby players under the age of 12 for a day of fun and competition. In keeping with the theme of the day, Charlene brought her best prepster athlete chic in a navy-striped cream blazer by Ralph Lauren with dark, ankle-length skinny jeans. She paired the style with saddle brown Manolo Blahnik pumps and an Hermes belt in a matching shade.

However, perhaps her most remarked upon touch was one accessory that she's not often seen in nowadays—her engagement ring. The pear-cut diamond ring, with its sizeable central stone and gem-studded band, has not been seen often on the princess's finger in recent years, but it made an appearance at the tournament, worn in conjunction with a simple band—presumably the Cartier band that her husband, Prince Albert, slipped onto her finger at their 2011 wedding.

The jewelry choice, of course, immediately garnered speculation about whether Charlene was attempting to send a message about her marriage. Last summer, rumors circulated widely that the royal couple had separated and were considering divorce—while the palace never directly commented on the stories, last September, Charlene and Albert began making a series of appearances together, which many inferred as an attempt to quell the speculation. Since then, the couple have been seen together at events regularly. It's unclear whether Charlene's ring choice over the weekend was the latest salvo in a public relations effort, or simply a sentimental style choice to accent her outfit.
