William and Kate mugs are already on sale. The announcement of the engagement of Prince William to Kate Middleton has produced many smiles, not least on the faces of those who manufacture memorabilia. The fascination with Royalty enters a new chapter with a new generation but with familiar historical overtones.Two days after the announcement of their engagement, William and Kate mugs are on sale. The future Royal wedding, the first of this level of importance for some years, has produced the creation of memorabilia at breathtaking speed.
The strange turn of history is equally arresting, the last great British royal wedding occurred with Williams parent's wedding - Charles and Diana - hitched in a time of recession and a Conservative government. Hopefully the happy couple's future will take a different path.

The effect of a royal wedding is interesting and reflective of the times, the British press has already warned of an anti-royal effect if too much bling is rolled out on the day. The nation wants the pomp and circumstance of a royal wedding but at the same time does not want to be offended by an ostentatious show of wealth in a time when many families in Britain are struggling to adjust to the current austere economic climate.
But, overwhelmingly the greatest aspect of this story is the feel good factor that it has generated; after the litany of bad news, from economic disaster, to World Cup disaster, to daily death toll bulletins from Afghanistan, the United Kingdom finally has something positive to shout about - a handsome couple announcing their love to the world and who can forget the solid cheering crowds pressed up against the gates of Buckingham Palace and strewn down the Mall as far as the eye could see, who waited to witness Charles and Diana kiss on the balcony and is there anyway the British public will be able to resist this time around? And how many will resist the William and Kate mug to sip their tea from?
