Exclusive new products to give this Christmas the royal touch

27th September 2011

The Royal Collection launches a number of exclusive new products for Christmas to give your gifts the regal touch. They include a retro range for the kitchen, some very royal toys and elegant jewellery and stationery.

‘GOD SAVE THE QUEEN’ RETRO RANGE

The design of our ‘God Save The Queen’ retro range is inspired by beautiful antique flags. Some pieces are also decorated with a coat of arms found on a plate in the pantry at Buckingham Palace. The range includes a shopper (£25.00), apron (£20.00), tea towel (£7.95) and coffee mug (£12.95) and will be available online from October.

FOR CHILDREN

It wouldn’t be a royal Christmas without a corgi, and now every child can have their own. Our royal corgi soft toy is dressed in a smart red coat, decorated with a coat of arms. He even has his own lead, so he can be taken out for walks (£15.95). The new guardsman soft toy will give every budding junior soldier a marching companion (£12.95; available online from October).

FOR HIM

Buckingham Palace pens make a stylish addition to any desk and are decorated with patterns found in the Palace’s Music Room. The range includes a fountain pen (£45) and a ballpoint (£35), and both come in a Buckingham Palace presentation gift box. The State Rooms at Buckingham Palace have also inspired a range of ties, available in red and blue silk (£25).

FOR HER

Our best-selling crown brooch with Swarovski crystal will add a sparkle to any outfit (£35). If you are looking for a very special gift, try our new 22.5-carat gold-plated charm bracelet for size. It is decorated with six royal charms – a coach, a throne, a unicorn, a crown, a guardsman and a lion(£350).

THE CHRISTMAS TABLE

The Royal Collection can add style to your festive table and cater for your Christmas guests, whatever their tastes. Choose from Buckingham Palace rosé champagne (£35), port (£25), mince pies (£4.95) and florentines (£4.95).

CHRISTMAS STATIONERY

On our pop-up Buckingham Palace advent calendar, Santa parks his sleigh on the Palace’s roof, while guardsmen make a snowman and sing carols with the corgis (£8.95; only available in Royal Collection shops).

Snow-covered Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle decorate the Royal Collection’s Christmas cards, sold in packs of six (£6.95; available online from October).
