StrangeSights

• Excitement is growing ahead of Britain’s upcoming Royal Wedding between Prince William and Kate Middleton and the range of souvenirs continues to grow - everything from commemorative plates, tea towels, coins and replica rings to name but a few. One commemorative mug produced by a firm in China, however, has been manufactured with what appears to be a slight flaw - it bears a portrait of the wrong prince. Next to a portrait of Kate Middleton is that of Prince Harry, her future brother-in-law, instead of that of her future husband Prince William.

• For the fashionista who likes to stand out from the crowd, look no further than these distinctive boots, designed to resemble a pair of horse’s hooves. The limited edition boots were released by UK betting company Betfair at the Cheltenham Festival to commemorate the horse-racing meet’s centenary. Reportedly priced at £1,300 a pair, they come in either ankle or knee length.

• Forget about calling yourself rich if you’ve only got a million dollars. A survey by US financial firm Fidelity Investments has found that 42 per cent of US millionaires said they did not feel wealthy (compared with 46 per cent in 2009), adding that they didn’t think they would do so unless they had at least $US7.5 million. Tough for some.
