Or, as one royal condom company suggests, lie back and think of England.The list of merchandise on offer is mind-boggling: life-size
cardboard cutouts, paper dolls, socks, mugs, earrings, cupcake toppers and, er, Harry and Meghan swimsuits.British jewelers are using the
slogan "Sparkle Like Markle" to sell diamonds, while supermarket chain Sainsbury's is selling replicas of Meghan's engagement ring for £5
