Firm launches royal wedding condoms

A company has launched a special souvenir condom to celebrate the royal wedding.

Crown Jewels Condoms of Distinction have introduced the Royal Wedding Collector’s Edition to commemorate the marriage of Prince William and Kate Middleton on April 29.

They are sold in packs of three with a picture of couple on the front and are described as "combining the strength of a prince with the yielding sensitivity of a princess-to-be".

Company spokesman Hugh Pomfret said: "Crown Jewels Royal Wedding Souvenir prophylactics are a unique way to remember this great British occasion. All at Crown Jewels have worked tirelessly to craft these heirloom quality love sheaths. In years to come, they will be a timeless memento of a magical wedding day.”

Buckingham Palace declined to comment about the range (from DS)
