The royal household released last year’s list for the Queen and other members of the Royal family

Every year the monarch is bestowed presents from diplomats, civic bodies, charities, members of the public and leaders from all over the globe.

The royal household released last year’s list for the Queen and other members of the Royal family, including The Duke of Edinburgh and the Duke of York.

Accepted or declined according to stringent set of guidelines, the list of items which made the cut revealed some unusual choices.
