Or, come to that, the tea towel.
Wilson had been undecided about whether to market his Grass Jam as Royal Wedding Souvenir Duchy Original Lucky Grass Jam.
It’s not been a great success due to it tasting terrible – and he’d even considered trying to sell it to cattle farmers for their cows to have on toast for breakfast – but as he pointed out, ‘Committed Royalists will buy any Commemorative Tat as long as it’s marketed properly!’
He explained to me, ‘They probably wouldn’t even open the jar – they’d put it on display in the china cabinet then forget about it until their children turn up clutching it on the “Antiques Road Show” or “Dickinson’s Real Deal”…’
In the end, though, good taste prevailed, and the grass jam remains in Wilson’s Museum Gift Shop.
