Royal Wedding Inspires Mobile Trailer For Seniors

Kristy Korcz — Mon, 25 Apr 2011 15:16:31 PDT

The royal wedding between Prince William and Kate Middleton will be watched by millions on TV and live streamed on the web, but there will be plenty of other Londonites lining the streets to catch a glimpse of the newlyweds on their way to the reception at Buckingham Palace. I'm not in London myself, but word on the street is, people will be camping out ahead of the ceremony to get a good spot along the official procession route. This puts seniors at a disadvantage - who wants to camp out for days on the cement? The UK's Environmental Transportation Association has a solution: the QTvan Mobile Trailer.

For around $9,072, seniors (or anyone who wants a trailer that can be pulled by a mobility scooter) can climb into this mini camper and sleep in a full-sized bed for the night wherever they happen to park. Stocked with a 19-inch TV, AM/FM radio, and bookshelves, along with a kettle for tea, this is your serious royal wedding overnight sleeping solution. Extra additions include solar panels for heating, a satellite dish, a gaming console, central heating, and an external luggage rack. Who needs a hotel?

Take an up-close look at the QTvan Mini Camper in a video after the jump.

Lovely Liv Still Finds Givenchy Irresistible

For years, Audrey Hepburn was the muse of Hubert Givenchy. So it's fitting that another doe-eyed, dark-haired beauty is a face of the French fashion and beauty house. Liv Tyler is continuing as the spokesmodel for Very Irrésistible Givenchy, who she began promoting in 2003. She's just revealed a new ad, and as usual, she looks gorgeous.

Liv talked with WWD about what was on her mind during the shoot. She says:

"After I signed the contract nearly five years ago, I went to Paris for a meeting, and walked into a gorgeous suite at [hotel] Georges Cinq filled with all of these wonderful things - Champagne, flowers, fragrances, a handbag - and I was so excited, I started jumping on the bed. That's what this ad image reminds me of, that joy. It's always fun to be spoiled!"

Fun indeed-or so I can imagine. To check out some behind-the-scenes video of the shoot,
