It is either a right royal snafu or someone's idea of a joke - Royal Wedding Souvenir Features the Wrong Prince -


It is either a right royal snafu or someone's idea of a joke, but the latest souvenir offering ahead of the April 29 wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton was causing some amusement Wednesday.
Visitors to the website of Guandong Enterprises have the chance to buy a commemorative mug featuring Britain's most famous commoner and the prince she will soon call her ... brother-in-law. "Crafted in the finest bone china" the mug features not William, but his younger brother Harry
While the company's website promises buyers a "beautiful cup" replete with "ornate detailing" on the handle, the maker's keen eye for detail apparently wandered during the research phase of the cup's development.
Unfortunately for the manufacturers, the inscription on the back of the mug -- "The fairytale romantic union of all the centuries. 29th April 2011" -- rings hollow.
The souvenir joins a slew of plates, trinkets and books produced to mark the occasion. Most, like the offering from Guangdong Enterprises, "are not supplied to, or approved by, Prince William of Wales, Catherine Middleton or any member of the Royal Family."
