When 1,200 members of the public were hand-selected to attend the royal wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, there was no doubt theyd won a lucky ticket.
But now, some invitees have been left bemused to discover their wont be any catering for the masses after being advised to bring a picnic.
The guests, who will presumably be waiting inside the grounds of Windsor Castle for hours during the day, have been sent letters by the Lord Lieutenants (the Queens representatives) to bring their own food as there will not be any catering.
They were also advised that it will not be possible to buy food and drink on site.
According to Saeed Atcha, the founder of Xplode a Bolton-based youth magazine and invitee, said some of the members of his charity were confused by the decision.
They were saying how come they have this money and you have to bring a picnic, he said. I am of the same opinion. Its unfathomable.
The royal wedding is expected to cost over 2 million according to Bridebook.co.uk (which the royal family will pay for) and a staggering 30 million will be spent on security via taxpayers.

Is there a wedding coming up in England?
Tacky
I wonder if the invites included a little insert of where the bride is registered so they can bring gifts. /s
But seriously, did these people expect to be fed?
let them eat bologna!
That’s only the start of the lovely class act you can expect from marrying an American female.
How gauche!....................
There’s an extra ticket, since Alfie won’t be coming. So DONE with the royals.
Thirty million in security for a two million dollar event?
Reminds me of a Redd Foxx album long ago where he felt sorry for parents having their daughter’s five thousand dollar’s worth of orthodontics bent and busted on a two-cent piece of peanut brittle.
Other items included seeing your daughter, a brilliant girl who could win any beauty contest, walk down the aisle with a junkie.
Cripes, I’m sure the Royal family could have gotten a great deal from Wimpy on the catering!

rumour is he’s got bladder cancer..
Are the guests allowed to have Italian food delivered, or are they sticking to the Alfie Evans protocol?
Not even cake?
Also, foxes will be released among the people for a hunt.
So.....the “royal” welfare recipients will not share their ill-gotten food and drink with the masses? How pathetic!
She's only worth $22 trillion dollars. What do you expect? If you could sell your ticket you could eat every day at Ruth's Chris for a year.
