Prince George motored alone to a West End court jeweller’s shop and spent 45 minutes inspecting many unset gems. Assisted by experts he chose a perfect square-cut blue Kashmir sapphire and ordered a platinum engagement ring of the most modem design with an oblong square-cut diamond oh either side of the sapphire. Prince George later left by rail for Balmoral Castle. He will return to London on Saturday to meet Princess Marina, who is arriving with her parents on Sunday. TheSßoyal party will leave London on Sunday night for Balmoral Castle.
