Royal Blues

London is feeling the Royal Wedding buzz.
A little over a month to go until the country stops for the celebration, there are souvenirs everywhere.
Tea towels, mugs, plates, t-shirts and  Kate Middleton's engagement ring replicas.
Even Primark has a version of the jewel.
The ring once belonged to Princess Diana of Wales.
It is an spectacular oval blue 18-carat Sapphire and diamond ring which had an estimated value of
£ 28,500 in 1981, when Prince Charles proposed to the late Princess.
Now, speculators believe the jewel is worth around £ 250,000.
Well, for mere mortals that don't have that much to spare, there is Primark.
I might get one for the sake of it, so I can sport it while having a picnic and a glass of bubbly in the Hyde Park fields come April, 29th.
Just kidding.
