BREAKING NEWS: A Royal Wedding Souvenir came about as way of Duffy venting his frustration at the way in which British media cover the lives of a particular family in this country while ignoring/marginalising real issues. BREAKING NEWS: A Royal Wedding Souvenir is a chronologically presented collection of royal wedding headlines from the BBC News front page paired with a photo from an actual news story of the same day.
