US EditionRolls-Royce to gin: Royal Family got lavish gifts, but none truly theirs | What do rules say
- On April 26, 2025, Buckingham Palace disclosed a list of official gifts presented to members of the British monarchy between 2020 and 2023, notably featuring a Rolls-Royce Cullinan given to King Charles III.
- The publication followed tightened rules on royal gifts implemented after the 2003 Peat Inquiry, which addressed the sale of gifts and internal gift management issues.
- Gifts include a feather crown and carved staffs from Amazonian Indigenous leaders, a leather folder from then-US President Joe Biden, and snorkeling gear for the Prince and Princess of Wales.
- The Rolls-Royce, estimated to be worth around $450,000, is designated for official purposes and, like all royal gifts, is not regarded as personal property; it must remain within the Royal Collection, which is maintained in trust.
- These gift rules mean official gifts are not the personal property of royals, they pay no tax on them, and perishable gifts under £150 may be given to charity or staff.
