Research conducted by jewellery retailers EST1897 has revealed that Beyoncé has the third most expensive celebrity engagement ring in the world (only being topped by Elizabeth Taylor and Mariah Carey). The singer's huge diamond comes in at an estimated value of $5million (£3.9million) – which is 28 times more expensive than the £134,500 price tag associated with Meghan Markle's engagement ring.

"The conflict-free diamond eternity band paid homage to the family of three with Meghan's, Archie's and Harry's birthstones (peridot, emerald, and sapphire, respectively) on the underside of the ring."
