| The Official Prince William Wedding China Brings Attention to the Royal Collection - YAHOO! Posted: 13 Jan 2011 12:03 PM PST The official Prince William wedding china, approved by Prince William and Catherine "Kate" Middleton, is released and available to the public. In a time when many products promoting the famous are simply a way to make money, what makes the official Prince William wedding china of a different ilk? Handmade in Stoke-on-Trent, the three pieces of English fine bone china "bears the couple's entwined initials in gold and silver surmounted by the coronet of Prince William and the wedding date," as reported at The Royal Collection website. The public can buy an 8-inch plate (£35), a pill box (£25) and a tankard (£35). The official Prince William wedding china is a collection that will occupy a permanent place in the china cabinets of households worldwide. Why would a person spend money on china representative of another couple's wedding? The upcoming wedding of Prince William and Middleton will likely garner more attention than the 1981 wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana. Prince William, who met Middleton in 2001, appears to truly love Kate. The situation is different than when Prince Charles married Princess Diana, and a third person, Camilla Parker Bowles, was waiting in the wings. The wedding of Prince William and Middleton, set for April 29, will surely dominate the interest of the public long after the wedding is over. And for people who appreciate history, they may purchase the official Prince William wedding china as a way to contribute to the Royal Collection. Profits from the china go for the upkeep of the Royal Collection. In addition, the china serves as a way to make the world more aware of the Royal Collection, an important part of royal history. The Royal Collection, which dates back more than 500 years, is the art collection of the British Royal Family. It is not owned by the Queen as a private individual, but it is held in trust for the Queen's successors and the nation. The collection contains thousands of paintings, furniture, books, ceramics and more. The collection is displayed at the royal palaces and on temporary loan or long-term loan to institutions around the world, such as The British Museum.
