Yahoo News Royal wedding guest sells goody bag for more than £21k
Days after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's nuptials, one of the non-VIP attendees of the big day has sold their exclusive goody bag for £21,400.
According to the Daily Mail, Claire Oliver, who was invited for her work offering young people internships in engineering, was one of the couple of thousand people allowed into the grounds of Windsor Castle last Saturday (May 19).
As well as getting to see the new couple's first kiss, Oliver was given the goody bag, which she went on to auction on eBay for thousands of pounds.
Oliver is yet to reveal what she will be spending her small fortune on, and has started quite the debate as to whether her selling the gift was the act of a thrifty genius or an impolite guest.
As if getting the first glimpse of Meghan Markle's divine Givenchy gown was not enough, the 2,640 members of the public invited into the grounds of Windsor Castle as guests of Prince Harry and Meghan also received a gift from the couple.
On Saturday, as a thank you for supporting the newlyweds on their big day, guests were given tote bags emblazoned with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's initials.
The bags were also filled with mementos from the big day.
