I have a confession to make.

I’m obsessed fascinated with royalty. Specifically, the British royal family.

I blame it on my Princess complex.

Naturally, I am totally geeked out over yesterday’s news that Kate Middleton and Prince William are engaged. I’m 28, the same age as both the Prince and the future Princess, so I almost feel like I’ve grown up with him, in some weird sort of way. I am just giddy over the engagement, and I think Middleton will make a lovely princess and wonderful Queen, and I cannot wait to see the wedding – I hope there will be a live stream! (Ok, if I’m honest? I’m hoping an invitation shows up in the mail!)

By now you’ve heard that Middleton is wearing Princess Diana’s gorgeous Sapphire and Diamond engagement ring – William’s way of involving his late mother in the excitement of the day. I was unsure of this choice by Prince William at first, but as someone pointed out to me, future Queen Kate (or will she be Queen Catherine by the time she’s old enough to be the Queen?) will likely have lots of her own jewelry.

When it came to style, Kate Middleton didn’t disappoint. The navy blue silk wrap dress by Issa that she chose to wear for the announcement of her engagement was the perfect compliment to her new Sapphire engagement ring. Of course, her choice to wear yet another Issa dress, Middleton’s go-to designer, has fueled buzz that she will also chose Issa to design her wedding dress. I’ve got to be honest, there is just something about Kate Middleton’s style! And so the anticipation for a royal wedding begins!

Since I’m sure you have royal-fever like I do, I wanted to share some great jewelry picks for under $50 – all fit for a princess!

No one will be able to wear this gorgeous engagement ring in quite the same manner, but you can have a pinch of Kate Middleton style with this beautiful cocktail ring from Spring Street Design.
