Royal wedding china on sale

AN official range of royal wedding china to mark the marriage of Prince William and Kate Middleton goes on sale in Britain today.

The three pieces — a tankard, plate and pill box — by the Royal Collection have been personally approved by the prince and his fiancee.

Handcrafted in English fine bone china and featuring 22-carat gold, each item has been decorated with the couple’s entwined initials.

The prince’s coronet appears above the letters — W in gold and C in silver — and written in a circle are the words “To celebrate the marriage of Prince William of Wales and Catherine Middleton 29th April 2011”.

A Royal Collection spokeswoman said its staff had been employed flat out since the engagement was announced on November 16.
