William & Kate Memoribilia

So by now you’ve probably heard all about the craziness over in the U.K. over the impending nuptials of William & Kate. Oh how magical, romantic, classic, regal, and tacky it will all be.

Screeeeeeeeech!!! *Record scratching*

Wait, tacky?

How could I call the celebration of the royal nupitals tacky you ask?

Well I’m not insulting them in any way. I happen to think they are an adorable couple, and I love all things regal and classy, so Diana was also fabulousity personified in my eyes. My problem is actually with the over-the-top souvenir creators who are trying to milk the event for any last dime they can collect with pictures of William & Kate including refrigerators and mugs with pictures of the happy couple Harry & Kate. Huh? Refrigerators? Harry? Yep. See it all with your own eyes below.

A cute (with cute meaning scary-looking) refrigerator for you to stock your crumpets, clotted cream, and fish & chips:

And a hilarously incorrect mug being sold by a distributor in China:

Mug Mistake

Fantastic.

PS – I love how it says “The Fairytale Romantic Union Of All The Centuries”. I don’t think that’s quite what The Queen would be calling it if Kate Prince-jumped to Harry after marrying William.

Bottom line is, slow it down people. No one is going to mistake you for being ultra-classy is you have a William & Kate bedspread or a picture of their engagement photo on your shower curtain. A mug may suffice, but make sure the right prince is in the picture first.
