Guest's Royal Wedding gift bag up for sale on eBay for £10,000

Gift bags from the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are being auctioned online - with one bid from a Merthyr Tydfil seller reaching over £10,000.

Several auctions have popped up on eBay in the hours and days following Saturday's wedding.

Sellers have included pictures of the commemorative fridge magnet that is described as an "exclusive memento", a tube of Harry and Meghan wedding shortbread, bottle of water and large chocolate coin.

They were all included in a special hessian bag with the date and venue printed on the front.

The gift bags were given to members of the public who were invited to share in the couple's big day on May 19 in the grounds of Windsor Castle, but not the 600 chapel guests.
