eBay sellers cash in on Harry and Meghan engagement tat



It's still only 48 hours since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's engagement was revealed, but you can already buy just about anything to mark the occasion.



eBay sellers are cashing in on the announcement by selling merchandise from decorative tea-towels to T-shirts and diamante iPhone covers to fridge magnets.



Also on offer are commemorative mugs with Union Jack and Stars and Stripes flags in love heart shapes, and even sets of edible wafer paper cake toppers.



Consumers can also buy keyrings, badges, posters and T-shirts with the phrase 'Prince Harry and Meghan Markle 2017 - Duke and Duchess of Sussex'.



Other sellers on the auction website are trying to shift newspapers and magazines marking the occasion ahead of the couple's wedding planned for next May.





Meanwhile, at the higher end of the market, British firm Emma Bridgewater revealed details of a commemorative mug celebrating the loved-up couple's engagement.



Within minutes of the impending nuptials being announced, the brand began making the handmade china in its Stoke-on-Trent factory to mark the occasion.



The half-pint mug features a classic spongeware design applied by hand, with the words 'Harry & Meghan are engaged' in pale blue surrounded by two red scrolls.





The other side of the £19.95 piece displays the engagement announcement date '27th November 2017'. The mug is edged in small pale blue hearts and tiny red dots.



Designer Emma Bridgewater said: 'We have been creating commemorative ware for nearly every royal occasion for the past 30 years.



'Britain has marked its national rites of passage in china for two centuries, mostly made in Stoke-on-Trent.



'We are proud to be part of that tradition and celebrate the most recent happy news.'



The much-anticipated news of the engagement was confirmed by the Prince of Wales on Monday, with the wedding expected to take place at a church next May
