A royal papal wedding blessing, of sorts

So in Sunday's New York Times, Peter Rogers, general manager of the Prince William Pottery company, which makes those ubiquitous commemorative coffee mugs portraying the royal family among other special things, was complaining that Camilla-and-Charles mugs weren't selling all too well. "The company has so far sold about 2,000 Camilla-and-Charles mugs; its sales on other big-ticket royal occasions usually exceed one million," the Times reported.

What a difference a dead pope makes! With the holy father dead and the royal wedding rescheduled (Dude! Shakespeare did it first: "the funeral baked meats did coldly furnish forth the marriage tables.") collectors now can't get enough of those mugs! Specifically, mugs bearing the wrong date.
