William and Kate's Wedding Gifts (from other countries)

Prince William married Kate Middleton yesterday, an event that many had been waiting for. What dress will she wear? Who are the special guests? Will Prince William just give in and shave his head? (No one asked the last question as much at the latter ones). Besides the A-list guests that ranged from David Beckham to Mr. Bean, what really caught my attention was the present that the queen gave the newlywed couple. Prince William was given the county – that’s right, a COUNTY – that he met Kate Middleton in. I’ll be lucky to have a suit that fits me by the time I get married, or enough ink in my pen to sign over my single status. The Queen thought of giving the royal couple all of England – after all, that was the COUNTRY he met Kate in – but she and the rest of the monarchy did not know how to wrap it.

Here is a list from what other countries gave the royal couple....

United States

President Barrack Obama sent a couple of gifts and a letter that read like this:

Dear Prince William,

Congratulations on your marriage and my best wishes to you and Princess Catherine. Attached with this letter is an iPad 2 (it has a camera in the front and in the back!) and a copy of the latest Transformers movie (it has talking robots!). In addition, attached is our 1 trillion dollar debt. I know you’ll understand

Barrack Obama.

France

President Nicolas Sarkozy and his crew sent over the garbage that has been piling up on their coastlines from other countries, along with a twelve-foot baguette that turned stale upon its arrival.

Portugal

The only thing that the country could send over under such short notice, (it was only hours before the wedding that they found out that gifts must be given) was one of Christiano Ronaldo’s six-packs (leaving him with only five)

Spain

Spain sent 2,000 Ecuadorians, packed with foam and bubble wrap, in crates. They arrived hours before the royal wedding. Once out of the crates, the Ecuadorians believed that they were still in Spain, so they put up a volleyball net and played a couple of games.

 Turkey

Trying to climb the ranks as the country with the best sense of humor, (they currently rank 146) Turkey wanted to give the couple a big fat Turkey. They ordered one and it arrived in a pristine state. They sent it to the couple, but they are yet to understand the joke.

China

Just a friendly reminder that your country’s payment is due by May 15. Any payment received afterwards will be subject to surcharge fees.

Yours Truly, China

Brazil

Brazil sent over an exotic blue cockatoo with a black beak and a yellow crest. It speaks Portuguese and Spanish. In addition, to teach the cockatoo English, a copy of Rosetta Stone was sent.

Venezuela

Mints for the Queen.  (World Wide Sense of Humor Ranking: 1)
