Here’s a story that will make you chuckle. An Etsy shop decided to get in on the royal wedding action by selling a commemorative plate celebrating the union of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle on May 19, 2018. But here’s the twist—instead of Prince Harry, the groom on the plate looks suspiciously like none other than Ed Sheeran! Don’t worry, though; it’s all in good fun. The owner of the shop, Lucy Bryant, made it clear this was a gag and not a case of mistaken identity.

Let’s dive deeper into this whimsical mix-up. Lucy Bryant, the creative mind behind ModernChintz, confessed to the Daily Mail that the whole thing was “entirely deliberate.” Her inspiration? A commemorative mug featuring the wrong royal face. She explained, “I bought a Kate and Prince William mug when they got married, and when it arrived, it was a picture of Harry instead of William. It inspired me to do something similar… and when I was thinking of a random redhead, I thought Ed would be perfect.” And perfect it was—because who doesn’t love a good laugh at the expense of royal memorabilia?

Why Did Ed Sheeran Make the Cut?

Now, why Ed Sheeran? Well, Lucy’s reasoning is both simple and hilarious. She wanted a redhead that wasn’t Prince Harry, and Ed Sheeran seemed like the perfect fit. Plus, Ed’s global fame makes the joke even more relatable. The plate quickly became a hit, proving that people love a good laugh, especially when it comes to royal memorabilia. But if you’re wondering whether Lucy’s customers are in on the joke, the answer is yes. Her Etsy product description reads like a straight-faced endorsement of the plate, complete with references to Harry’s favorite snack: toast and Marmite.

ModernChintz: The Shop with a Sense of Humor

Lucy Bryant’s Etsy shop, ModernChintz, is all about wit and whimsy. While the "Ed Sheeran" plate might have fooled some, a closer look at her Etsy page reveals the truth. She even lists the plate as an “alternative” version, alongside a correct commemorative plate featuring the real Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. ModernChintz isn’t just about royal gags; it’s a treasure trove of quirky designs. From a seagull eating a pigeon to a dog peeing on a trash bin, Lucy’s creations are equal parts funny and memorable. And for those who crave a bit of rebellion, there’s even a royal wedding plate with the words “So over it” scrawled across Harry and Meghan’s faces.

The Royal Family’s Reaction

While we can’t be sure what the royal family thinks of this cheeky merchandise, it’s easy to imagine them sharing a laugh over it. After all, humor is universal, and a good joke is hard to resist. Maybe they’re even placing an order of their own on Etsy. It’s a reminder that even royalty enjoys a good laugh now and then.
