King Charles gifted a $460,000 Rolls-Royce Cullinan Series II as Royal Family showered with presents

King Charles was given a brand-new Rolls-Royce Cullinan Series II alongside a heap of other gifts, including a watch, walking boots, and a 3D print of himself.

Each year, the Royal Family is showered with gifts from members of the public and organizations, as well as from heads of state across the world.

These gifts are all logged, and the lists are released by Buckingham Palace.

And the list makes for interesting reading.

The Palace recently released the gift lists from 2020 to 2023, revealing what was given to several senior Royals, including King Charles, the late Queen Elizabeth, and the Prince and Princess of Wales. 

The items range from your more standard gift-giving fare, like toiletries and bottles of whisky, to the more unusual, including snorkeling gear, a box of 51 acorns, and sticky rice in a presentation case.

To mark his coronation in 2023, King Charles was given a Rolls-Royce Cullinan Series II by the King of Bahrain. The Cullinan Series II has a starting price of around $460,000 and is certainly one of the more lavish gifts received by any member of the Royal Family. 

The Rolls-Royce joined other cars in his fleet, including a $215,000 Lotus Eletre, and a couple of custom Bentleys.

However, the gift comes with a caveat: the car isn’t for personal use and should only be used for official purposes, like state occasions.

Alongside his Rolls-Royce Cullinan Series II, King Charles was given a wooden insect ‘hotel’ and a rose tree from the President of Germany, a wristwatch and a serving table from the President of South Korea, and a feather Crown and two beaded chest pieces from the Amazonian Indigenous Leaders.

In 2022, in honor of the late Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, she was gifted jewellery, including three platinum and diamond brooches, as well as double-sided blankets for her two ponies, photographs of her family, and a glass decanter with a gold collar.

Some of the more interesting items the Royal Family has received include NASA face masks given to Queen Elizabeth in 2021, a bouquet of Lego flowers given to the Prince and Princess of Wales in 2022, and a model of a SlurryKat tanker given to the Princess Royal in 2020.
