賣家是如许描写该茶包的：“這恰是你可能在1998年末在CNN上看到的阿谁茶包。 它是英國女王伊丽莎白二世利用的，由專門的灭虫員從温莎城堡偷运出来的，這位灭虫員被叫来帮忙女電動螺絲刀,王應答20世纪90年月的伦敦大甲由侵袭。”
The US-based seller, that goes by the name “moo_4024”, appeared to have predicted that buyers would be sceptical of their claims and has added a “Certificate of authenticity” to the Royal Family artefact.
這個在美國的賣家，名字叫“moo_4024”，彷佛已预感到買家會對他们的说法持猜疑立场，特為這件皇室文物添加了一份“真实性证书”。

這份证书中写道：“真品证书出色钻研所已确認如下報告是绝對真正的：這是一個茶包。”“具有這個茶包就即是具有一段汗青! 它是價值千金！”

伦敦很多線下禮物店也是一全部賣疯了的状况。

固然相干怀念品的代價不菲，但仍然有不少人愿意為此買单。
“It’s not cheap, but it’s limited. It’s never going to happen again,” said Callaghan, 35, who works in financial services and was visiting London from Dublin.
“這工具其实不廉價，但它是限量的。”35岁的卡拉汉说，他在金融辦事部分事情，女王归天時正從都柏林拜候伦敦。

There's likely to be big demand for King Charles III souvenirs, and vendors of unofficial royal merchandise like Ibrahim are poised to capitalise on it, raising questions over copyright. But it's unlikely that the royal family will take legal action, according to a lawyer specialising in trademark law.
查理三世的怀念品可能會有很大的需求，像易卜拉欣如许的非官方皇家商品供给商筹备操纵這一點，這激發了版权問题。但据一名專門從事牌号法的状師暗示，王室不太可能采纳法令举措。
