雅思雙語閱讀：英國威廉王子大婚紀念品開售
Britains royal wedding is still four months away, but the first official memorabilia went on sale Monday - a range of wedding china personally approved by the couple.
Prince Williams office said the items had been commissioned by the palace department responsible for the royal familys art collection and made in Stoke-on-Trent in central England, a traditional center for British ceramics.
The three souvenirs - a tankard, plate and pill box - each feature the couples entwined initials, the princes coronet emblem and the date of the wedding - April 29, 2011.
On sale at royal palaces and a website, profits from the collectables will be donated to the charity which curates the royal familys artworks, known as the Royal Collection.
The Royal Collection has been working on the design since around the time of the engagement - its a very fast moving process, Williams office said in a statement.
His office said that the prince and his future bride had both approved the wedding merchandise.
William and Kate Middleton made her first public appearance on Saturday since announcing their engagement, attending a cancer charity fundraising event in eastern England.
The couple are to be married at Westminster Abbey on April 29 after a lengthy courtship.
距離英國威廉王子大婚還有4個月之久，但首批官方紀念品已于本周一開始出售。據(jù)悉，這套婚禮紀念瓷器獲得了威廉王子及未婚妻的個人認可。
威廉王子辦公室表示，這套紀念品由負責(zé)收藏皇家藝術(shù)品的皇室部門委托制做，并在英格蘭中部素有英國瓷都之稱的特倫特河畔斯托克生產(chǎn)。
首批紀念品有三款瓷器，杯子、盤子和藥盒，均印有威廉和凱特盤繞在一起的名字首字母、威廉王子的皇冠徽章、以及婚期2011年4月29日。
紀念品在皇家宮殿和一家網(wǎng)站出售，所獲利潤將捐贈給負責(zé)管理皇家藝術(shù)品的慈善機構(gòu)皇家珍藏。
威廉王子辦公室在一份聲明中說：皇家珍藏自威廉王子訂婚前后才開始設(shè)計紀念品，效率非常高。
辦公室還表示，威廉王子和準王妃都認可了這套結(jié)婚紀念品。
上周六，威廉王子攜準王妃凱特米德爾頓在英格蘭東部參加了一場癌癥慈善籌款活動，這是自兩人宣布訂婚后首次公開亮相。
在相戀多年后，兩人將于明年4月29日在威斯敏斯特教堂舉辦婚禮。
