The Daily Mail reports that Prince Charles' official shop has a jigsaw puzzle featuring Prince William and Middleton for sale at 29.95 pounds. (That's just shy of $49.)

The puzzle features the prince and Middleton at their engagement announcement. Princess Diana's sapphire ring is clearly visible in the picture of the beaming couple.

The Daily Mail reports that the puzzle makes the grade as a green product, with wood coming from sustainable forests in the U.K.

The Mail quote a spokesman for Prince Charles as saying, "In response to customer demand, the Highgrove shop sells a variety of products for customers who wish to commemorate the royal wedding. All profits go to the Prince's Charities fund."

Some in the government has asked about official products to keep "unscrupulous" businesses from turning a profit, according to the Daily Mail. "This day of national celebration should not be exploited by fly-by-night companies looking to make a fast buck from the wedding," said Labour MP Chuka Umunna, according to the Daily Mail.
