Kate Middleton’s family firm launces Britannia scratch card
March 15th, 2011 - 5:55 pm ICT by ANILondon, Mar 15 (ANI): Bride-to-be Kate Middleton’s family has launched a Britannia scratch card, complete with crowns, and reference to corgis and the Queen, which have been designed to be used to play a game of trivia.
The scratch cards are part of a Best of British range that has gone on sale at Party Pieces, the website owned and run by the Middleton family.
The Britannia Scratch Trivia card costs 3.99 pounds for a pack of ten. It is designed to be played by adults, allowing them to test their knowledge not just of British history and celebrities, but also the Royal Family.
“Scratch away one crown to reveal the correct answer and impress your guests with your British knowledge,” the Telegraph quoted the advertisement on the firm’s website as saying.
The cards risk further accusations that the website is taking advantage of the forthcoming wedding of Middleton to Prince Wiliam.
Party Pieces, set up by Middleton’s parents Carole and Michael, has already been criticised for selling street party paraphernalia to coincide with the wedding.
Party Pieces has become a very successful website, selling busy parents all the equipment they need to throw a children’s birthday party - from plates and table cloths, to invitations and fancy dress outfits. It has branched out to adult parties, including hen nights. (ANI)
