please note that the producer of the products did not wish to express themselves on the subject.....funny since everyone else is blabbing constantly They are probably angry because these things are not selling (regardless of what this sycophantic media wants people to believe) and they have invested production money. they have probably not been allowed to comment on the lies the PR is telling. Plus they might hope to get compensated with a different contract.

According to the below article from the Monaco Hebdo, the stamps sold out. Hey, I wonder if our own Madame Concorde was one of the collectors interviewed for this article.
Raid on stamps and envelopes
The limited edition products were sold. Some examples can be found now for sale on the NetBy Adrian Paredes 20 July 2011
As a letter in the mail. The expression was not the most appropriate Friday and Saturday to get the collection of stamps and envelopes issued specifically for the royal wedding. A crowd gathered in front of the outlets of the Office for the Issue of postage, before opening the sale of products. Five stamps and a block had been sold for the occasion. Christèle, a resident of Roquebrune, has bought several sheets of stamps "for a friend collector of stamps in the Pas-de-Calais." "She had those of the marriage of Kate Middleton and Prince William," she said. Others, like Alexis, philatelist, came from Nice to buy "stamps that will be few princes" and have it signed by the authors. The diptych consisting of 5 stamps and the block, numbered 500 copies left in less than an hour in all outlets. Other out of stock for the envelope memory copies printed in 2000. Some of these products are already on sale on online auction sites. Starting price of the letter memory: 100 euros or ten times its original price. With the stamp, the setting changes from the starting double. As for the single block, it is trading at 12 euros 5 euros against its true purchase price.As of July 18, 2011, a stamp showing the Prince's Guard at attention before the royal palace will be published.
**** Original French **** Razzia sur les timbres et enveloppes
Les produits à tirage limité ont tous été vendus. Certains exemplaires se retrouvent désormais à la vente sur le Net.
Par Adrien Paredes. Comme une lettre à la poste. L’expression n’était pas la plus appropriée vendredi et samedi pour se procurer la collection de timbres et enveloppes émise spécialement pour le mariage princier. Une foule s’est massée devant les points de vente de l’Office des Emissions de Timbres-Poste, avant même l’ouverture à la vente des produits. Cinq timbres et un bloc avaient été commercialisés pour l’occasion. Christèle, résidente de Roquebrune, a ainsi acheté plusieurs planches de timbres « pour une amie collectionneuse de timbres dans le Pas-de-Calais ». « Elle avait déjà ceux du mariage de Kate Middleton et du prince William », dit-elle. D’autres comme Alexis, philatéliste, sont venus de Nice pour acheter « des timbres princiers qui seront rares » et les faire signer par les auteurs. Le diptyque comprenant les 5 timbres et le bloc, tiré à 500 exemplaires numérotés est parti en moins d’une heure dans tous les points de vente. Autre rupture de stock pour l’enveloppe souvenir tirée à 2 000 exemplaires. Certains de ces produits sont déjà en vente sur les sites d’enchères en ligne. Mise à prix de la lettre souvenir : 100 euros soit dix fois son prix d’origine. Avec le cachet, la mise de départ passe du simple au double. Quant au bloc seul, il se négocie à 12 euros contre 5 euros, son vrai prix d’achat. A partir du 18 juillet 2011, un timbre montrant les carabiniers du prince au garde à vous devant le palais princier sera édité.

checking ebay> monaco royal wedding > most of the items are from Princess Grace wedding the hello magazine with trashlene on the front is up for $ 1.60 (that's one dollar and 60 cents ROFL) and no bids put in the search "royal wedding" and there are pages and pages of WIllKat, the non dynamic duo don't even make the cut. to be fair those don't seem to be selling big either (shrug) but the kissing mug is going for $16 bucks

What I can say that the stamps where there is the figure of Al he cannot self use it on his letter to outsiders as I have noticed when I received some private correspondence from him.

I put it here, but I think it could go into any PR saving face thread. They are now getting everyone out there to say that the wedding is an economic success...even when it isn't. www.monacomatin.mc/article/monaco/quand-le-mariage-princier-fait-le-buzzthere is another article online today about them putting a fence around the games at the beach...talk about making a mountain out of a molehill. It didn't cost much, didn't take long to decide and was absolutely unnecessary as this has worked very well for years without a fence. No parents ever complained. New toys would have been nice though and some for the older kids as parents also go to that area with older and younger kids... anyways they are really grasping at straws trying to get positive news out there with the tenor of the government is doing sth for the people...It's practically nothing and not what they need, but sth they can write about... www.monacomatin.mc/article/monaco/les-petits-samusent-en-toute-securite-sur-la-plage-du-larvottojust to point out their PR strategy

The stamps were run in extremely limited qualities. The amount would not even satisfy the little local collectors and some other stamppies. Running in the limited quantities allowed them to say they were sold out. Remember, the whole sheet is one run - they don't sell them or collect them in singles usually. PR again.

Some foolish people are still trying to make money off this wedding. Also, this is just another revelation of the money that Albert and Charlene spent lavishly for this wedding. Also, this Dutch company is just another example to disprove Albert’s claim that a huge percentage (like 90%) of everything for the wedding was sourced in Monaco or a small radius from Monaco. Albert and Charlene had these dinner plate boards hand-made especially for their wedding. Now, this company is reselling 450 copies (limited edition of course) of these boards – of 125 each ( $178). From the Piet Stockmans website: Monaco Prince's Wedding - Piet Stockmans
For the marriage of Prince Albert of Monaco & Charlene Wittstock last Saturday was the main course of fish served on a board by Piet Stockmans. This board is hand made in our own workshop.
There are 450 copies sold as limited edition.
You get the board together with the book on the Studio Pieter Stockmans and numbered certificate for 125 euros. Pick from 15 August 2011.

It is a Belgian design (Flemish) not Dutch (The Nederland’s) ... but with the Belgium’s political situation perhaps soon The Nederland’s. I had already seen the porcelain on TV before the marriage. They said the bleu is for PlasticFace… I had to think of the region Limoges (France) that historically blue Dinnerware makes… presumably to cultural for A&C. I wonder why it is already sold? Is it really used?

They where trying to sell 450 copies as limited edition in Belgium. But this was a BIG PLOP! ;D IMO it is not clear that Albert spent his million for the wedding… Because the porcelain is now used at the Louis XV, Alain Ducasse's 3-star Michelin restaurant in the Hotel de Paris... So maybe Albert let the Société des Bains de Mer buy the porcelain? The blue dessert china was designed for Alain Ducasse by the Belgian ceramist, Pieter Stockman who also designed china for the recent wedding of Prince Albert and Charlene Wittstock - another Alain Ducasse triumph. Alain Ducasse, by the way, was made a citizen of Monaco by Prince Albert in 2008 - a rare honour unless you happen to be one alreadyScroll down for pictures: www.montecarlodailyphoto.com/search?updated-max=2011-10-17T10%3A50%3A00%2B02%3A00&max-results=20Some foolish people are still trying to make money off this wedding.

a rare honour? not to my knowledge. If you are willing to cough up enough money, kiss enough butt and play the game the MC way, then you are it get the citizenship. Ducasse knows how t kiss butt. That's why he has been for most of his professional life promoted by the Grimaldis. I doubt that Ducasse would be were he is today without the support of Rainier.

Are you kidding me! To me this "fine china" looks like a bowl for a dog (and not a pretty one at that.).
