Ms Chavez wants to give Prince William and Kate Middleton an oil painting she has done of the couple. "My plan ... is to find a paparazzi or one of these people that follow them all the time and see if I can give them their gift," she said. "I know it's not the nicest way, but it's clear the royal protocol would never allow me near them."
Estibalis Georgina Chavez left her home in the slums north of Mexico City to camp outside the British Embassy in February and begin her hunger strike. "At the time I didn't see it as something so drastic and dramatic," she said. "[People] said I risked my health for something many believe to be frivolous and silly. But, I think that for me, it was the only way to achieve my goal." She was repeatedly told by British officials that there were no more invitations available.
Mr Lazo became aware of her plight after walking past her camp one day, and decided to offer her the air fare. "It moved me to see that no one understood her very well ... I think she is right to fight for what she wants," he said. Ms Chavez has long had an interest in the British Royal Family, having been told by her father that her mother - who died when she was born - had been a big fan of Princess Diana.

Encouraging people like her is not a good idea.
I suspect she's also going to be awfully disappointed when she gets to London with her painting.
She'll not be allowed her painting on as hand luggage. I hope it survives the trip and that she doesn't get tazed the second she goes too near the royal couple.
I think her time could have been better spent taking painting lessons.
GMT-8: I'm not an art collector, but maybe zombie-chic is in this season.
