What do you give the family that has everything?
Well, in the case of the late Queen Elizabeth, at least two platinum and diamond broches to celebrate her monumental jubilee.
And for her new heir, King Charles? What about a Rolls-Royce Cullinan Series II, which starts at only £ 340,000?
These are some of the more striking items that are included in the Royal ‘Gift Lists’ that have been released by Buckingham Palace Yesterday, albeit in the midst of hundreds of more everyday items such as baseball caps, socks, books and a model of a slurry tanker.
Royal Assistants are obliged to keep a log of any item given to Senior Royals In the course of their duties since the 1990s, after a series of scandals about the removal and even sales for profit of often expensive offers.
Details of the gift lists are normally published annually, but have been postponed in recent years by the Pandemie, followed by a series of ‘extraordinary’ events, including the late queen Platinum anniversary and death in 2022, followed by the accession of the king, the coronation and cancer diagnosis.
However, they have now been published for the 2020-2023 and ensure fascinating reading.
Many of the hundreds of entries are from benefactors and members of the public that offer cheap but genuine gifts to public walkabouts or official visits – ranging from bottles of whiskey and gin to pots of honey and woolly hats.

Buckingham Palace has released the official list of royal gifts and some submissions are striking, while others are more everyday items such as baseball caps, socks and books. Shown: King Charles leaves the National Gallery after a visit on May 5

Prainsant they even go back to the reign of Queen Elizabeth, who would undoubtedly be very happy to receive six dog jackets from different sizes from the Royal Air Force of Australia to mark his centenary in 2021.
Unuser that year she also received a NASA face mask – although it was perhaps still useful for the last stages of the pandemic – and gifts from a Tiffany Silver Box and a flower brochure by President Biden about tea in Windsor Castle.
The following year – 2022 – her historic platinum anniversary was then, understandably, benefactors large and small wanted to pass on their greetings for the 70 years in the throne.
There were personalized pony blankets of the president of Switzerland, as well as diamond and platinum broches of the Goldsmiths’ Company and the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic.
Even President Xi Jinping of China felt sufficiently moved to send her a range of gifts, including a wine vessel that is anchored with Chinese motifs that represent royalties and happiness.
One must also wonder if her deceased Majesty ever came to drink her ‘Coronation Street Gin’ to her during a tour of the famous TV Street.
It should be noted that very few of these items would be considered as its personal property.
Instead, they enter the royal collection, the unparalleled collection of historical and often priceless art, antiques and artifacts that are kept in confidence by the sovereign on behalf of the nation. They cannot be sold, benefited or deleted.

The queen also received a Lagos version of Monopoly from the High Commission of Nigeria

One of the most striking entries in the list is the Rolls Royce Cullinan II car that was given to him by his good friend and fellow ruler, the king of Bahrain (the two depicted together o 11 November 2024)
The next year the coronation of King Charles and again the gifts were flooded – there are more than 260 entries for that year alone.
The most striking is undoubtedly the Rolls Royce Cullinan II car that was given to him by his good friend and fellow ruler, the king of Bahrain.
It is once again to note that this is not considered the personal ownership of the king and, confirm paleish aid, the ‘Royal Fleet’ has entered the Royal Mews in London. It will be used on official occasions.
Given, given the love of the king for horticulture and agriculture, there were a few dozen trees, plants and shrubs of different benefactors who would have been planted on the royal estates.
Indeed, the king and the queen planted Ledig, a tree of the king of Sweden, in the Windsor site last month.
He and the queen also received ‘his and her scents’ from J Floris Ltd, plus matching hiking shoes personalized with their respective royal Cyphers of the President of Hungry – an absolutely brilliant gift, must be said.
Buckingham Palace would never be so coarse to calculate the value of a certain item and some are rather reluctantly classified to minimize speculation, such as the ‘Gentleman’s wristwatch’ who has been received from the President of the Republic of Korea. It is fair to say that it is unlikely that it will be from Ratner.
Princess Anne received a few cherers, including a model from a ‘slurry tanker’ and five mouthkeepers, along with lots of rugby balls, tartan, edible goods and 51 acorns.

In recent years they have also received hundreds of gifts for their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, including cuddly toys, T-shirts, rugby shirts and books.
According to internal guidelines, members of the royal family can accept all the gifts they receive in the course of the Royal Tasks.
Indeed when it comes to colleague states or official ambassadors, giving and receiving gifts is an important part of the official protocol.
They are not considered the personal ownership of the member of the royal family who receives them, but can be held by the sovereign in the law of the crown or in due course designated as part of the Royal Collection, the rules.
It is understanding that there are huge stores of these treasures in both Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle

According to internal guidelines, members of the royal family can accept all the gifts they receive in the course of royal tasks, but items such as flowers are often given to local hospitals, hospices and care homes.
Royals can eat all the food given, while perishable gifts with a value of less than £ 150 can be given to charity or staff.
Some items such as flowers are regularly donated to local hospitals, hospices and care homes.
Sources said on Thursday that the existing guidelines of 2003 will probably be updated in the near future in an attempt to encourage sustainability.
This may include that smaller, cheap unofficial gifts are donated to worthy causes where necessary.
