The bag itself, which measures 8.5 x 5.5 x 7.5 inches – contains the official Marriage Order of Service, a Royal wedding commemorative magnet and a sealed chunk of traditional handmade shortbread, made especially for the wedding.
The sought after goodie bag also includes a 5-inch golden wrapped chocolate medallion with “HM” inscribed in the middle, as well as a bottle of Windsor Castle spring water and a gift card containing a 20 percent off voucher for the Middle Ward shop at Windsor Castle.
The item, which is being sold at New York auction house Gotta Have Rock & Roll as part of its “Rock And Roll Pop Culture Auction”, also comes with a certificate of authenticity and is being sold to raise money for Wildlife SOS, according to the lot’s description on the auction house’s website.
