Carphone Warehouse and Best Buy are the latest retailers to jump on the bandwagon of royal wedding memorabilia with the launch of a special-edition royal wedding phone.

Priced at £15, the Alcatel One Touch candybar handset is emblazoned with a union jack on the front and the royal couple’s wedding date and initials on the back.

It also comes with Mendelssohn’s Wedding March as the ringtone, and the wallpaper is a photo of the future King and his bride.

Customers will have to pay an added premium for the royal touch at £15. The traditional One Touch model is just 99p.

Carphone Warehouse commercial director Mark Eastham said: “We are delighted to offer this fun, limited edition, Royal Wedding-themed phone to our customers. It’s great to offer a product which really taps into the national spirit over the coming months, and is still an affordable option for customers.”

The handset will be available on pay as you go from Carphone Warehouse and Best Buy.
