- Claire Oliver, 31, was one of 1,200 non-VIPs invited to spend the day outside St George’s Chapel on Saturday
- Bags were complimentary gift to so-called community champions and families as they arrived at Windsor
- Miss Oliver put her goodies on eBay and in an auction that attracted 84 bids and sold more more than £21,000
- One seller is even selling PDFs of the couple’s order of service for £5 – but you can get it for free HERE
- This is the community champion given a ‘golden ticket’ by Harry and Meghan to see them marry who then sold her free goodie bag on eBay for more than £21,000, MailOnline can reveal today.
Claire Oliver, 31, was one of the 1,200 non-VIPs invited to spend the day outside St George’s Chapel on Saturday and given the enviable chance to see the newlyweds and their famous guests up close.
Miss Oliver, who is from Cambridge but lives in south-east London, works in HR for Troup Bywaters, an engineering group heavily involved in offering apprenticeships to get more young people in work – a cause close to Harry’s heart.
On the day of the wedding she tweeted: ‘I got to watch the royal wedding right outside Windsor Castle in this amazing setting. Such an amazing day #Golden ticket #Royal connections’ and filmed herself twirling with joy in the grounds.
But hours later she had posted her free commemorative gift bag on eBay, which has now sold for £21,400.
The canvas bags inscribed with the couple’s initials contained a souvenir wedding order of service and welcome letter from Meghan and Harry, other freebies included a bottle of Windsor Castle water, a giant chocolate coin, a tin of shortbread and a voucher for 20 per cent off in the castle shop.
Last night MailOnline spoke to Miss Oliver about her auction she said she didn’t want to discuss it and she is among more than 25 other guests who offered their bags to the highest bidder.
Some have reached more than £30,000, it emerged today, and eBay also has orders of service from Kate and William’s wedding day as well as cake from when Princess Diana married Prince Charles in 1981.
