Royal pains

The majority of people may be curious — even fascinated — by the upcoming Royal nuptials on April 29 this year. Going by the worldwide attention Prince William and his fiancée Kate Middleton have received ever since they announced their engagement,it would be fair to say that there seems to be some danger of all this curiosity and fascination going overboard. After all,these are just two people in love getting married — something that happens everyday,all over the world. In fact,chances are high that more than a few people are already sickened by the incessant coverage given to the royal engagement — from speculation on the wedding guest list to the couple’s outfits on D-Day to the speculation that Middleton may be dieting in order to look ‘perfect’ for her big day.

For these few people — who are unlikely to raise champagne or beer in a toast to the couple — British artist Lydia Leith has designed The Royal Wedding Sick Bag,rather humorously named ‘Throne Up’. The hand screen printed bags are a limited edition collection which are currently available on the artist’s website and come in two colours,blue and red. With printed figures of the smiling Prince and his bride-to-be,the bags are attractive,so you may want to keep yours as a memento. After all,these are genuinely sick bags,so if you do use one,you will have to throw it.
