It seems no one is immune from jumping on the royal wedding souvenir bandwagon - even the father of the groom.

First Kate Middleton's parents stocked corgi-themed cake toppers and Britannia scratchcards, now Prince Charles's official shop is selling a jigsaw featuring Prince William and his fiancee.

The online shop for Charles's Gloucestershire home Highgrove is advertising the 250-piece puzzle for £29.95 (Dh178).

The game's accompanying blurb describes "a finely cut wooden jigsaw featuring unique Wentworth ‘whimsy' pieces showing the engagement photograph of HRH Prince William and Catherine Middleton".

Middleton's now famous blue Issa dress and Princess Diana's sapphire ring are clearly on show, while William smiles proudly alongside her.

In line with Charles's green credentials, the 14inch by 10inch puzzle was made in the UK using wood from sustainable forests. Profits go to his own charitable foundation.

It stands out from a range of more demure wedding souvenirs, including Royal Collection porcelain, Highgrove champagne flutes and whisky tumblers, and heart-shaped chocolates.

A spokesman for St James's Palace said: "In response to customer demand, the Highgrove shop sells a variety of products for customers who wish to commemorate the royal wedding. All profits go to the Prince's Charities fund."

Other bizarre wedding mementoes from other sellers include William and Middleton sick bags and London tube Oyster cards.
