Buckingham Palace has released a list of gifts to the royals<\/a> in recent years, ranging from a Rolls-Royce and a feather crown to a stuffed camel.<\/p>\n

A new list outlines official gifts presented to Queen Elizabeth<\/a> II, the King and Queen, the Prince and Princess of Wales<\/a>, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, the Princess Royal, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester and the Duke of Kent between 2020 to 2023. <\/p>\n

The gifts, which range from a set of toiletries to bottles of alcohol and pairs of cufflinks, came from heads of state, their patronages and other organisations with which they have a relationship. <\/p>\n

In May 2023, the King received a Coronation gift in the form of a Rolls-Royce Cullinan Series II motor car from the King of Bahrain, Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa.<\/p>\n

The car isn’t for personal use, but only for official purposes such as state occasions.<\/p>\n

He also received a feather crown, two beaded chest pieces and two carved staffs from Amazonian Indigenous leaders Uyunkar Domingo Peas Nampichkai and Atossa Soltani.<\/p>\n

As a Coronation gift, the then-president of the United States, Joe Biden, and then-first lady, Dr Jill Biden, gave Charles a leather folder containing printed letters between Queen Elizabeth II and President Eisenhower inviting him to the United Kingdom, with a photograph of the visit.<\/p>\n

Charles also received a tea set from Smythson of Bond Street and a cutlery set from the Ambassador of the Republic of the Philippines, Teodoro Lopez Locsin Jr.<\/p>\n

In 2021, the late Queen received a set of gifts connected to one of the nation’s favourite television programmes.<\/p>\n

During a visit to the Coronation Street set in Greater Manchester, the Queen received a cobble from the original set in a presentation case, two gin glasses with Manchester skyline silhouette design and a selection of themed gifts.<\/p>\n

They included a book entitled 60 Years of Coronation Street and a bottle of Coronation Street gin.<\/p>\n

She also received gifts from President Biden and the First Lady – an engraved, specially commissioned Tiffany sterling silver box and a floral brooch – during tea at Windsor Castle.<\/p>\n

In 2022, the year of her Platinum Jubilee, the Queen received a Cedar of Lebanon tree from\u00a0Pope\u00a0Francis as part of The Queen’s Green Canopy initiative.<\/p>\n

Back in 2020, the then-Duke and Duchess of Cambridge each received a toiletries set from the president of Ireland, Michael D Higgins and his wife Sabina Higgins during an official visit to the Republic of Ireland.<\/p>\n

During that trip, they also each received GAA club jerseys as well as a bottle of whiskey and two whiskey tumblers.<\/p>\n

In 2022, the couple, by now known as the Prince and Princess of Wales, received snorkelling gear during a royal tour of the Caribbean.<\/p>\n

They each received a snorkel set, a wetsuit, a pair of diving fins and a swimming cap.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, William and Kate’s children also received gifts – a record of a soft toy camel, received by William in Dubai in 2022 on behalf of Prince Louis, was mentioned. <\/p>\n

What is the protocol for royal gifts? <\/h2>\n

Official gifts can be worn and used, but are not considered the royals’ personal property. The royals do not pay tax on them.<\/p>\n

They can eat any food they are given, and perishable official gifts with a value of less than \u00a3150 can be given to charity or staff.<\/p>\n

Gifts cannot be sold or exchanged and eventually become part of the Royal Collection, which is held in trust for successors and the nation.<\/p>\n

The rules on official presents were tightened following the Peat Inquiry in 2003 into the sale of royal gifts and the running of St James’s Palace.<\/p>\n
