Over the past week the news has been reporting what they know, what they think they know, and what they don't know about the engagement of Prince William and Kate Middleton. Our immediate thoughts weren't spent on the dress or where they would have the wedding but on the mass of amazingly tacky memorabilia that will be produced. Expect the tacky and the bizarre as we present to you our top ten items of Royal memorabilia (and yes, we actually would like to own some of it)...
10. Wills and Kate set.
Seen as we've only put together this list because of their recent announcement it's only fair that we include them on the list. This is nothing on what is to come...
9. The Queen and Prince Phillip busts.
Go on, you know you want these on your mantelpiece either side of that carriage clock. We do.
8. Charles and Camilla plate.
Who did this portrait? Camilla isn't too bad but what's with Charles? He looks like he's taken one too many herbal remedies.
7. The Fergie thimble.
Or, as we like to call it, The Sarah Ferguson Glamour Thimble. She's never looked so marvellous. The shot is almost wasted on the thimble. Only almost.
6. Golden Jubilee china basket
China basket says it all really.
5. Princes William and Harry Ladybird book
Improve your child's reading skills by purchasing this book and then rub it in their faces that they'll never be as privileged as these two and therefore will have to do a job that they hate all of their life. But bless, the picture is kind of cute!
4. Charles and Diana cameo necklace
Do you know why this is amazing? Because some scenester somewhere will buy it, wear it and think they are totally ironic or something. But they won't. They'll just look like an idiot.
3. The Queen Mother jigsaw
Make your rainy day a right Royal one by bringing back the Queen Mother one jigsaw piece at a time.
2. Charles and Diana egg.
The horrific lace detail and Charles's arrogant 'Why yes, I do have my face on a f*cking egg, so what?' look make this full of win.
1. Family portrait tray.
Wow. Not only is it a perfect example of 1970s portraiture it is also an incredibly handy household item. Afternoon tea deserves to be served off of this bad boy. Imagine the thrill of revealing each portrait as you take the pot of tea, the scones, the jam, and the crustless cucumber sandwiches off of it.
So, that's it! Our favourite thing we found though we couldn't really put on the list as it was a person: a lady who has a Princess Diana stained glass window in her home. Amazing. All we can do now is eagerly await the wedding and wonder if there will be any memorabilia as horrifically delightful as these!
