Is a royal wedding really a royal wedding if it doesn’t inspire reams upon reams of themed merchandise? We think not. Luckily, the impending marriage of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle has inspired plenty of spin-off memorabilia, from the traditional (commemorative tea towels, anyone?) to the risqué (the ‘Crown Jewels’ condoms do not – spoiler alert – come with the Palace’s seal of approval) to the downright haunting (remember these Harry and Meghan dolls? Because we certainly do…)
As the countdown to May 19th starts in earnest, this is the (tasteful, we like to think) merch that we’re coveting. Who knows, in a few decades’ time, it might be worth a small fortune…
