Will And Kate Mug Fail


A Chinese company registered in England called Guandong Enterprises wants to cash in on the forthcoming marriage between Prince William and Kate Middleton. So they designed a mug in celebration of the wedding. They say:
Guangdong Enterprises has the greatest pleasure to present to you this beautiful cup to commemorate the wedding of HRH Prince William and his stunning lady bride to be, Miss Kate Middleton. Crafted in the finest bone china it features an exquisite design of the happy couple with ornate gold detailing to honour this great moment in history.
There's just one thing. That isn't Prince William's face on the mug!
That's Prince Harry!

(thanks qqqing)

Best bit of marketing ever.
Firstly, they are not a Chinese company, the company is registered in Finchley, North London. Has only been trading since February and the website has only existed since February as well.
I beleive these mugs have been produced on purpose, with free advertising from just about every blog, Facebook and Twitter feed, they should be doing very nicely for themselves from punters who think they might have got themselves a collectors item of the future.

Does anyone know where to buy them? Looking on the Internet and not finding a website.

Thank you.
