When Prince Harry proposed to Meghan Markle, he did so with a trilogy diamond ring featuring two diamonds from Princess Diana’s collection and a middle stone sourced from Botswana.
The ring is both sentimental and priceless - and way out of most people’s price range with a reported worth of up to £265,700 ($350,000).
Fortunately, Buckingham Palace is selling a much cheaper version - for just £30 ($40).
The replica was spotted by a Harry and Meghan fan account on Instagram - who noticed the palace is offering the ring as part of a commemorative selection of goods dedicated to the royal wedding.
The affordable version “inspired by the engagement ring of Meghan Markle” features three diamonds, just like the Duchess’s and an adjustable band.
According to the website, the ring, which is made of palladium instead of gold, can also be worn as a set - with matching earrings and pendant.
And while it doesn’t come with Prince Harry, the ring does come in a box emblazoned with the couple’s initials and ships worldwide.
If the ring isn’t your style, the palace also sells ballpoint pens, mugs, candles and wedding plates dedicated to the couple.
