Tacky memorabilia

I could just see the point if it was fundraising but fundraising for what , the company that is producing them?
Why a teddy if you gave it to a child they would have nightmares.
Memorabilia for the late Queen should be thoughtful and classy just like she was.
Not a mug, or a child's tea set with her and Paddington walking off into the sunset. I hope no companies are reading this I have probably just given them an idea.
Wait and see what Meghan comes up with a Lillibet doll?
Or a book on how to cope with losing a much-loved Grandmother. She is sure to find something to market.

Oh how tasteless.

There’s one on eBay already for £425! Yes tacky - however DD1 bought a similar bear after 9/11, but profits went to an associated charity in the USA.

It not even a corgi.
Someone though will buy them I bet (if they have more money than taste).

'Ow much?!! as a friend would say.

Yes, Tacky Teddy, what a shame, I don't suppose Teddy realises that sad

Tacky and inappropriate.

To me it seems somewhat insulting, and I don't know why.

Is this the start of memorabilia after the Queen's life? I know people might want to mark the occasion, but I find the timing a bit uncomfortable. And at £249 cashing in too.
