Inside the Gift Bags Every Guest Will Get at Princess Eugenie’s Wedding
One of the many perks of attending a royal wedding is receiving a gift bag, as they're almost always filled with some pretty cool items. The gift bag at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding featured trinkets such as a magnet and a large chocolate coin, and one bag was even re-sold on eBay for $28,500.
For Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank's wedding on October 12, guests also received gift bags, and aside from being instantly collectible, they also supported a great cause: young women artisans in West Bengal, India.
Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, made the gift bag announcement on his Instagram account Friday. "All guests and members of the public invited to celebrate the royal wedding will receive a Key to Freedom bag," he noted. "Key to Freedom is an initiative founded by The York Family to support and find a route to market for products made by the Women’s Interlink Foundation, which provides vulnerable young women from West Bengal, India, with skills to earn an income."
As their website states, Key to Freedom was founded by the Yorks in 2012 after Prince Andrew met with Aloka Mitra, founder of the Women’s Interlink Foundation, during a visit to India during the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebration.
As People reports, the bags were filled with snacks and a magnet along with specially-branded mementos to mark the wedding day. The bags also included a biodegradable poncho in case of rain-Eugenie had previously told British Vogue that she was going to have a plastic-free wedding.
