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.

Royal wedding condoms
Crown Jewels Condoms of Distinction is offering a souvenir box of royal wedding commemorative condoms — collector’s edition.

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.

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).
