Royal fans can get hands on a Meghan Sparkle

Argos brings out affordable replica of American actress’s diamond engagement ring

Argos has produced a replica of Meghan Markle’s engagement ring for just £14.99.

The limited edition Meghan Sparkle by the retailer features an emerald-cut cubic zirconia set between two brilliant-cut stones on a yellow gold-plated band.

The American former actress’s actual diamond engagement ring, which was designed by Prince Harry, was made using two diamonds from Diana, Princess of Wales’s personal collection and a central diamond sourced from Botswana.

It is estimated to be worth more than £120,000.

Clair Albone, jewellery buyer at Argos, said the sale of engagement rings at the company had jumped 22% compared to last year, as the nation gears up for Harry and Ms Markle’s nuptials on May 19.

She described the Meghan Sparkle ring as “a classic choice at a price that doesn’t require a royal budget”.

The ring comes in a gift box depicting the London skyline and inscribed with the royal wedding date.

A huge selection of souvenirs has been produced ahead of the big day, including a Harry and Meghan neckerchief for dogs by luxury dog accessories brand Teddy Maximus for £25.

Other novelty items range from Harry and Meghan face masks from various party shops and costing around £3.50 each to a Let’s Dress Harry And Meghan! Royal Wedding Souvenir Cut Out book for £5.25.
