A British creative agency has unveiled its new range of “unofficial” Wills & Kate Royal wedding souvenir plates. KK Outlet in London decided to create some of its own souvenir plates for the more design-conscious fans of British royalty despite Lord Chamberlain, the Earl Peel, already issuing a formal memorandum on souvenirs including a strict “no tea-towels” rule. The company enlisted the help of seven designers to bring Royal wedding memorabilia bang up to date to suit a very modern royal wedding. The new range of souvenir plates include Ute Geisler’s Like plate, the ironically youthful Will 4 Kate 4 Eva by Emma Morton [pictured], who also designed the headline-grabbing Age Of Austerity paper plate, and the just plain strange Laser Eyes by Richard Walker. Other designers who have contributed to the plates include Dave Bell, Paul Best, Keith Gray and Angela Lidderdale. A spokesman for KK Outlet said: “Every royal wedding from Fergie and Andy to Charles and Diana comes with its own peculiar side-business memorabilia. They usually take the form of plates, mugs, teaspoons, gravy boats or other household paraphernalia. “The designs and forms have hardly altered since 1952. But as the Royals have changed with the times, so should memorabilia. With that in mind, KK Outlet asked the question How should royal wedding memorabilia look for the Facebook generation?” The sets of plates and mugs are slated to be sold at KK Outlet’s store in London and on its website in the lead-up to the Royal Wedding in April. Royal fans can log on to www.kkoutlet.com to purchase the fun plates.
