Royal April Fool's Joke: Seats to William and Kate's Wedding for Sale

With the royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton only weeks away, hype is reaching critical mass. And frankly, the overdrive whirlwind of all things Will and Kate has started to become a blur.

That's why the luxury site AHAlife got the attention of many of its readers with its unique, eye-popping offer on Friday.

The gussied-up package was offered with frills galore, but the gem in the deal was a doozy: two "tickets" to the lavish, history-making nuptials at Westminster Abbey in London later this month. The cost of the once-in-a-lifetime experience? A whopping $24,875.

The chance for a commoner to sit among royals and international dignitaries in the ancient Abbey, with pipe organs blaring, watching Wills as he watches Kate (and her dress and train) proceed down the aisle seemed downright irresistible...

Doh! This StyleList staffer was royally punk'd. The too-good-to-be-true offer was, of course, an April Fool's Day prank. Surely the prince, famous for enjoying a laugh with friends as often as possible, would appreciate the joke!
