Kate Middleton-approved jewellery brand drops up to 50% off sale
When it comes to summer sales, jewellery brand Monica Vinader are shining with up to 50% off hundreds of accessories including necklaces, rings, bracelets, earrings and more. The British brand have secured themselves as a fan favourite thanks to the 'affordable luxury' options - and prices are now even more reasonable starting at £19 in the sales event.
Kate Middleton notably owns several Monica Vinader pieces, having worn them on repeat over the years. Shoppers hoping to emulate her style can save money off her go-to choices, or treat a royal fan in their life to a thoughtful and special gift for less. Hailed by Monica Vinader as the 'biggest sale of the season', shoppers have a limited time to browse up to 50% off selected picks.
One stand-out piece has been worn by Kate Middleton multiple times, such as on a trip to Copenhagen in 2022 and while out in London in 2023. The Nura Pearl Necklace has been reduced by £19, now down to £110, made from 18k gold vermeil and pearl.
The accessory comes highly recommended by shoppers, many of whom say they've received 'so many compliments' since wearing it. Its versatility makes it ideal for accessorising almost anything in a wardrobe. One customer commended it for being delicate, writing: "This necklace is just beautiful. It can be worn as a formal or informal piece. Looks fab with jeans and a t-shirt."
Another shared their experience, stating: "I wore this on holiday out for dinner and had some lovely compliments. The pearl is the perfect size and I love the way it's not a perfect circle."
However, one shopper did mention a minor issue: "The only negative is the necklace is a bit short, sitting at collarbone level so if you prefer a longer necklace, I would go for a longer chain." The T-Bar Pearl Chain Necklace available at Accessorize for for £16 provides a similar style to Monica Vinader's luxury items.
A pair of Kate Middleton's Monica Vinader earrings are also on sale - saving shoppers £52. The Siren Wire Earrings were first debuted by Kate during the 2016 Canada tour, however, she has worn them on more than ten occasions since. Kate Middleton favours the Green Onyx design, but the 18k Gold Vermeil and aquamarine option is just as beautiful and currently 40% off.
Now £78 down from £130, their splash of colour makes them stand out - a possible reason why they're among Kate's preferred jewellery pieces. Shoppers can also snap up the matching Siren Ring for £75 down from £150 in the half price sale.

BBC stars' true feelings on John McEnroe as Wimbledon and tennis icon told to retire
BBC stars' true feelings on John McEnroe as Wimbledon and tennis icon told to retire John McEnroe has been the voice of Wimbledon for many years and has become a household name in British sports television - but the American has also been at the centre of a number of controversies John McEnroe is a divisive figure in the broadcasting world (Image: Rob Newell - CameraSport, CameraSport via Getty Images ) For many fans, Wimbledon's coverage on the BBC wouldn't be quite the same without the distinctive and knowledgeable commentary of John McEnroe. The US star has become a fixture in living rooms across the UK during the tournament's most thrilling matches on Centre Court. Since taking up broadcasting responsibilities at the All England Club in the early 2000s, the American legend has become as much a part of Wimbledon as the carefully mowed grass itself. The former world No. 1, now aged 66, dominated the men's tennis scene in the 1980s, clinching three Wimbledon titles and four US Open championships. Known as 'Superbrat' during his playing days, McEnroe hung up his racket in 1992 and has since provided expert analysis on the sport he once ruled. Despite being one of the BBC's highest-paid commentators, McEnroe's forthright style has split opinion. His candid commentary and unparalleled expertise have earned him acclaim, but he has also faced criticism for what some perceive as "disrespect" towards certain players. Nevertheless, those who have worked alongside McEnroe speak highly of his commitment to his role as an analyst. Former BBC host Sue Barker recently lauded her ex-colleague in her 2024 memoir, Wimbledon: A Personal History. "Mac is the BBC's highest-paid employee pro rata, and with good reason. The public love him. He was great to work with, always up for fun," she wrote. Article continues below Sue Barker (L) was full of praise for McEnroe (Image: Getty ) Another of McEnroe's peers at the BBC, commentator Andrew Castle, concurred with Barker's sentiments. "John is a wonderfully, funny and well-weather guy," he told Globusbet. "I can tell you this, when he is into a match and is concentrating and is engaged whilst enjoying it, there is no one to match. It's a thrill to sit there and listen to what he has to say." Even Pat Cash, the Australian icon and one-time adversary on the circuit, paid homage to McEnroe – although the Wimbledon champion of 1987 couldn't help but aim a jibe at the American's commentary prowess, reports the Express. In their encounter at Wimbledon in 2024, McEnroe said: "Cashy, it's great to see you in person, I've watched you on TV, but it is great to see you guys." In response, Cash jested, "Likewise, I've watched you on TV... until I can get to the off button." Dave Gordon, the ex-executive editor of BBC Sport and previously at the helm of Wimbledon broadcasts, once told The Daily Telegraph that McEnroe had single-handedly dragged the corporation's coverage of SW19 "kicking and screaming into the 21st century." McEnroe has sparked controversy from the commentary booth over the years (Image: Getty ) In an article for the BBC in 2007, Clive James lauded McEnroe's ability to enchant audiences, stating that he's "so interesting" behind the microphone that the presence of an "accompanied by an actual match" is almost superfluous. He went further to crown McEnroe as the "supreme male commentator" at Wimbledon and even described him as a "philosopher". McEnroe has faced backlash of late however. Some tennis fans have criticised him for mispronouncing players' names and seemingly lacking his usual depth of knowledge during tournaments. Whilst juggling duties for both the BBC and ESPN, a few American viewers expressed disappointment with his commentary at this year's event. On social media, one frustrated viewer said: "I see John McEnroe is at it again. If ESPN won't retire him, can we at least compromise and keep him off broadcasts until the semif-inals where he'll actually know the players?". Another voiced their concern, saying: "Why does John McEnroe have so little respect for other, 'lesser' players that he does not bother learning how to pronounce their names?". Pat Cash once had a light jibe at McEnroe's expense (Image: Getty ) Moreover, McEnroe has had his fair share of on-air disagreements with BBC Wimbledon host Clare Balding, most notably a heated debate about Novak Djokovic in 2024. Formerly, a controversial comment regarding "swingers" landed him in trouble, and a brutal remark about Russian teenager Mirra Andreeva this year have drawn further ire from co-commentators and viewers. A minor clash with BBC's Simon Reed also occurred over remarks made about British star Jack Draper. Additionally, McEnroe's salary has prompted discussions, as he remains amongst the BBC's highest-paid commentators for his two-week role at the Championships. The BBC's salary report from the previous year disclosed that John McEnroe's earnings ranged between £195,000 and £199,000 for the 2023/24 period, indicating a modest decrease from his earlier income of £205,000. Nevertheless, McEnroe's daily remuneration during Wimbledon is believed to be around £14,000. Article continues below A source from within the BBC divulged to The Times in 2023 the reasons behind the American tennis legend's lucrative fee, stating: "He is one of the most popular and respected pundits in tennis," and adding: "He provides a unique perspective to our coverage."

Torvill and Dean ‘bow out on a high' skating to Bolero in final performance
The duo, who wrote their names into British sporting history at the 1984 Winter Games, announced their retirement from skating together in 2024, 40 years on from their Olympic gold success. Yesterday's final performance of Bolero at @nottinghamarena will forever be in our hearts 💜 #OurLastDance — Jayne and Chris (@torvillanddean) July 13, 2025 In April they embarked on the UK leg of their farewell tour, Torvill And Dean: Our Last Dance, which culminated with four performances in their home town of Nottingham. Following their final performance together, Dean, 66, said: 'The performance went well and the audience were amazing and so, for us, to be able to bow out on a high like that was wonderful.' Asked if it had been emotional, Dean said: 'These last four performances here in Nottingham, the early ones were quite emotional and I think I sort of got that out of me, and tonight, it was a high. 'We enjoyed it so much. The skating was good from our point of view, but the audience were phenomenal. They were the best audience ever.' Torvill, 67, said: 'I think we'll miss it. 'When you've done all these shows like this, and you're suddenly home, not doing anything, you miss that adrenaline rush and you miss the excitement of being on the ice, whether it's a practice session or a performance.' Torvill promised they would be working on other projects but said they will not be skating on the ice together. The duo secured an Olympic gold in 1984 with their ice dance to Ravel's Bolero at the Zetra Olympic Hall in Sarajevo. They also had success at the World, European and British Championships and returned to the Winter Games at Lillehammer in Norway in 1994 where they won bronze. After they bowed out from competitive skating they branched out into touring, coaching and choreographing before becoming the faces of celebrity competition show Dancing On Ice, which ran from 2006 until 2014. When the show was revived in 2018 they became head judges until earlier this year when ITV announced it would be rested. Their farewell tour of London, Belfast, Sheffield, Birmingham, Newcastle, Manchester, Liverpool and Glasgow included a team of professional figure skaters, some of whom have featured on Dancing On Ice.
