Summary
A wooden lazy tong depicting Charles, Prince of Wales and Lady Diana Spencer (HRH Princess of Wales) with a blue expanding trellis movement (circa 1981). Two circles are cut out of the handles to allow one to insert a thumb and forefinger. There are colour printed cardboard cut-outs of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer glued to the wooden lazy tong. A colour printed red heart is glued in front of the two figures on which is written 'Lazy tong lovers and a right royal smacker. As the handles of the tong are brought together it appears that the two figures kiss one another.
