Estibalis Chavez, Mexican Teen, Hunger Striking For Royal Wedding Invite

Some people will really do anything to get an invite to the upcoming royal wedding.

Estibalis Chavez, a 19-year-old Mexican girl, has taken to the street, hunger striking in hopes of gaining an invitation to the royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton. Chavez has been camping outside the British embassy in Mexico City for 9 days now, according to Today.

And she has no plans of quitting.

From Today:

It's a cause the teen doesn't seem to be giving up on, going so far as to blame the British embassy for not intervening. "The embassy could talk to Britain for me but they haven't," she said. "But I'm going to stay here until I can't go on."

The 19-year-old's obsession with gaining an invite stems from a long time love of Princess Diana. "I have been a fan of Lady Di since I was a little girl," she reportedly told the Daily Record. "My mother was also a fan... I promised myself I would go to the next royal wedding."

Will the stunt work? Give us your guess below.

If starving yourself got an invite, the British consul would be trampled under the bony feet of hordes of Hollywood skeletons.

i actually live around the corner from the British embassy in Mexico City... its sad seeing her there alone everyday. My first thought was also negative but after reading this article i feel that i might understand her. it is implied that her mother died... could this be something she is doing to feel closer to her? i might be way off but most of the times people who we consider "weird" have deeper reasons for doing what they do. At least i hope so...

"..And then the equerry appeared from the embassy holding a silver dish in his white-gloved hands.

Upon the silver dish lay a card, gold-edged and mysterious.

"Yes, Cinders" he said, as he held forth the silver dish, "you shall go to the ball.........."

(And they all lived happily ever after.)

One can only gasp at the astonishing depth of the shallowness of this misguided teen. Has she tried doing something useful that will gain the admiration of her peer and maybe could have lead to an invite? No.

I have a great Idea... I'm going to set up a tent outside the white house, and hunger strike until I can become the presidents next Czar of Czardom.

Wow, some really cruel comments. Why do people want this young woman to die? She may be a bit off, but 'feed her to the dogs?' 'Die already'?

Jeez. How easily we dismiss the life of someone who seems insignificant, but has an entire life, just as we do.

Somehow I don't think that being a fan of Lady Di since childhood and making promises to oneself to go to the next royal wedding in any way entitles one to a ticket. I hope they can at least get her to a hospital for a feeding tube and a psych eval. before she wastes away.

Well, that's a waste of time and a danger to one's health. Come on, mija, get up and do something with your life.

Does she really think they want her craziness at their wedding? They aren't even inviting their own crazy relatives.
