With the royal wedding of Kate Middleton and Prince William looming, we take a look at the wacky royal wedding souvenirs that are around.
The Kate Middleton doll
Even in plastic Kate Middleton is flawless!
The Franklin Mint has launched its limited-edition commemorative Kate Middleton “Portrait of a Princess” doll.
There were only 5000 of the “authentic replicas of the future princess” made of the doll, which not only looks like Kate but is also wearing a replica of her engagement dress.
Kate and William knitted dolls
We’re not sure if these dolls will be a hit anywhere else, but they were at the UK toy annual trade show in central London. Prince William and Kate Middleton look-alikes Andy Walker and Kate Bevan hold up the knitted figures of the royal couple.
Commemerative royal pottery
There are a lot of royal wedding plates out there, but UK fine china store Mulberry Hall has a tradition of commissioning royal commemoratives. This is what they currently have on display.

If fine china isn’t your thing, Mulberry Hall also stocks a range of porcelain figures of Prince William and Kate Middleton.
Royal wedding condoms
Crown Jewels Condoms of Distinction is offering a souvenir box of royal wedding commemorative condoms — collector’s edition.
Ashtrays
Somehow, we don’t think these royal ashtrays will be a bestseller, but hey, at least they are getting people in the spirit of the royal wedding!
Replica royal engagement ring
You can own your own replica royal wedding engagement ring for only US$30 ($29.85). Made with rhinestones, these replica rings are being produced in China.
Royal mugs

Wrong prince mug
Just make sure you don’t fall for this one! Guandong Enterprises launched a commemorative cup to “celebrate” the royal wedding. The only problem is they have the wrong prince (even though there is some speculation they did it on purpose).
Royal wedding sick bags

Royal wedding coin
