Royal Wedding Guests Auction Their Royal Wedding Gift Bag On eBay

About 1,200 non-VIPs for the Royal Wedding between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle spent the day outside St George’s Chapel in the grounds of Windsor Castle on Saturday.

The guests were given souvenir bags inscribed with the couple’s initials. Each one was packed with a giant chocolate coin, a tin of shortbread, a fridge magnet and a voucher for 20 per cent off in the castle shop to enjoy on the day. A bottle of Windsor Castle water and a wedding programme were also included.

Some of the guests, however, have decided to cash in on the souvenirs and are selling it on eBay for £400 or more.

Don’t blame them, if they had given them plastic plates and notepads, they wouldn’t be quick to sell them on eBay.

Dozens of the so-called Community Champions invited to the wedding started are auctioning these free gifts off to the highest bidder. MailOnline has found at least 25 listings ranging from between £25 and £420.

One seller said: “Buy a piece of history and memorabilia to celebrate a momentous special day for Britain’s and the royal family”.

Another said: “I’m happy to send the gift bag internationally if your happy to cover the postage”.

One later claimed they would donate the cash to charity but had initially “forgotten” to mention it on their eBay posting.

It also emerged that an eBay seller is auctioning off PDFs of the royal wedding order of service and, surprisingly, more than ten people have bought them for a £5 each.  This is despite the same thing being free to download via the royal family’s website.
