She's one of a number of non-VIPs cashing-in

A 31-year-old woman has become the first to flog her royal wedding goodie bag on eBay, fetching around £21,400 for the gift, which, among other things, contained a souvenir order of service and a welcome letter from Harry and Meghan. Shortbread, a commemorative magnet, Windsor Castle water, a large chocolate coin, and a voucher for the castle shop were also included in the goodie bag - which makes the whole thing a nice little earner in my book. Ahead of the ceremony on Saturday, the HR manager had tweeted: "I got to watch the royal wedding right outside Windsor Castle in this amazing setting. Such an amazing day #Golden ticket #Royal connections." https://twitter.com/JWhatling/status/997734007923265536?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.joe.co.uk%2Flife%2Fevery-guest-at-the-royal-wedding-received-a-goodie-bag-and-heres-whats-inside-179623&tfw_site=JOE_co_uk She's not the only person looking to sell off her goodie bag, with a number of them appearing on the auction site after they were handed out to over a thousand members of the public. The members of the public were chosen for various reasons such as showing leadership in their community and having undertaken charity work.
