Some people on the internet are also trying to sell odd objects in the name of memorabilia related to the late Queen.

One of those items is a teabag that was allegedly smuggled out of Windsor Castle in 1998 and has found its way on ebay. The teabag was listed at a whopping $12,000 (Rs 9.54 lakh) by a seller in Decatur, Georgia. The seller also claimed that the teabag has been verified by the Institute of Excellence in Certificates of Authenticity (IECA).

The certificate by the IECA says, “It was featured in an online auction claiming to sell a teabag that was used by Queen Elizabeth and smuggled out of Windsor Castle by the special exterminator that was hired when the roaches got out of control.” However, the seller had taken down the listing by September 8.
