Apparently it is worth £250K. I personally never go shopping in the Kings Road or anywhere else for that matter, wearing my pieces of jewellery that have been valued at over £100K, for the risk of losing these heirlooms. what could she be thinking? I know she has a body guard there but even so!

Unless she is wearing a cunningly constructed papier mache copy?

PMSL at the caption "Low-key: Kate had little security, save two protection officers, as she enjoyed the London sunshine".

..because having just 2 protection officers is low key? Is that compared to the rest of us that never leave the house without at least 6 protection officers?

Why not just start a thread saying you have a ring worth £100k?!? Ha haaaaaa!

Bit shit to have an engagement ring and not be able to wear it. I was surprised she was actually managing to shop though - would have expected her to be mobbed.

They have been together long enough for them to have discussed the choice of engagement ring before time. So I think she must be fine with it, or they would have brought some other heirloom out to use - let's face it, there are plenty lying around in the palace.

I reckon Kate probably likes her ring - her style is, ermm, conservative, and although that ring is blardy enormous, it is so unadventurous.

My mother has a look-alike (smaller, but still enormous by normal people standards) from when she got engaged to a French count in the '70s, and I was so worried she was going to give it to me when DP proposed (we were/are too poor to buy a ring), but amazingly generously she donated me a much more civilised one that we had remade. If she'd given me the expensive sapphire whopper I predict I would have lost it down the plughole within the week.

CaptainKirksNipples i haven't got such a thing - it was actually a joke

lol at plenty of heirlooms 'lying about the palace'. Oh, to have that kind of clutter problem...

Yes. Have to at " my jewellery worth over £100,000."

Aibu to tell you how much my jewellery cost would have been more to the point.

I refer pagwatch to my last post!

Thinking about it (much too hard) it must be a replica. Can you inamgine if she lost it. I bet she just gets to wear the real one on her wedding day and for state occasions.

Here is a link to an article about the royal engagement rings. I am really bored tonight!

Love the way the OP threw us a snippet about her 100k jewellery...

Agree, Cutie. That was my original proposition. She will wear real one on wedding day and other big occasions only. The one she was wearing in the high street the other day has to have been a replica.

And now, that has me thinking about my jewellery - should I ve worried about goof out with all my blind valued at about... Oooo... £9.99. Should I worry?

Sugarsky - lol, I was totally taken in by your 100k boast!

You are a nutter and I claim my £5!!
