A spelling mistake on thousands of pieces of Platinum Jubilee merchandising, calling it the "Platinum Jubbly", is proving a challenge for souvenir sellers.

Shockingly made in china!

Joke present for the anti-monarchists in your life?

Present for the person you are suppose to give gifts to you don't like? Makes a change from padded hangers and scented candles.

If this is a genuine story, and not some staged pastiche, and those plates are disposed of then any surviving might be worth a fortune one day, like a rare dodgy penny black with Queen Vic's head upside down or something!

Were I her Highness, I would buy all these myself and get them used at an important function, knowing nobody would dream of mentioning it.

One hears she has quite the sense of humour so I wouldn't be at all surprised if someone buys her one within the family.
