A ring caused some significant pain at Queen Victoria's Coronation, but not necessarily pain. The Coronation ring was firmly stuck on the young queen's ring finger, ensuring it could not be removed without the help of iced water. Victoria's love of rings - or showing them off - did not diminish her advisors' annoyance.

ICE HARE: Suzy Menkes, a fashion journalist, recently called the Princess of Wales' use of the royal jewellery collection a "disappointment," noting that she only wears its pieces "when she absolutely has to" them. However, Kate raiding the royal vault solely for occasions such as state banquets is a considered move. The 'Kate effect' is evidently responsible for her obsession with demi-fine and even costume jewellery, something that previous royals would never wear.

The Princess of Wales has been chastised for her modesty in jewelry. Naturally, Catherine is able to wear high-street, and her jewelry is understated for anything other than state events, banquets, and so on, which led fashion commentator Suzy Menkes to claim that she has been a 'disappointed' in her approach. Ms Menkes said that the Princess seems to be indifferent to the magnificent collection to which she has access and lacks the same zeal that her stepmother-in-law Queen Camilla shows when it comes to wearing sparklers. However, Catherine makes full use of the royal jewel box when the occasion is appropriate, and she is by no means the first royal to choose 'costume' over more ostentatious sparklers.

The Princess of Wales' often modest jewelry picks haven't been enough to please Suzy Menkes, but the Princess has demonstrated how to dazzle on a budget. The Princess has been seen sporting jewellery from Zara, H&M, and Accessorize, from attending glitzy events as the BAFTAs to congratulating important heads of state.

On the new episode of her podcast Creative Conversations, Suzy Menkes, 79, of Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire, made the scathing comment about Kate Middleton, 41, about her mother, 41.

What's that mantra we should all live by?Something about glass houses and not throwing stones? Well, the sound of shattering glass was deafening yesterday.

In a podcast, 79-year-old Menkes said, 'She doesn't have Camilla's joy.' The Princess of Wales is a bit of a jewellery flop.' She gives the appearance that she only does it when she absolutely must.'

A former Vogue editor has branded the Princess of Wales' 'disappointment' in her jewelry style. Suzy Menkes (inset), 79, of Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire, made the scathing comment on her latest episode of her podcast Creative Conversations. The influential critic, who was given an OBE by the late Queen for her contribution to fashion journalism in 2014, welcomed British Vogue's jewellery editor Carol Woolton to the show, where they discussed Princess of Wales' new outfits. Kate, 41, has been accused by the former Vogue International editor of being indifferent to the collection of rare and precious jewels she is privileged to wear, but she does not appear as passionate about jewels as her mother-in-law Camilla, 75, said. 'The Princess of Wales is a bit of a jewelry disappointment,' she said. She gives the appearance that she only takes it on when she absolutely has to. Suzy wrote: "She doesn't appear to have Camilla's joy in wearing jewelry." On a Buckingham Palace banquet in November, Kate is seen wearing Princess Diana's pearl earrings.

CAROL WOOLTON: It is the oldest in the Royal Collection and has been worn by virtually every English monarch for more than 1,000 years in one way or another. Or at least we've been led to believe. I was the jewelry editor for Vogue magazine for 20 years, and today I host If Jewels Could Talk, which is where I first heard an exciting new theory. After extensive study and a painful recreation of the jewel's journey through history, John Hawkins, an historian and world authority on several royal jewels, told me that the gem atop the crown is not the St Edward's Sapphire.
