Tourists in town for the 2018 wedding were spoiled for choice when it came to souvenirs celebrating the royal nuptials. However, I took several trips on the Tube in the span of a few hours and walked nearly 20,000 steps, all to stumble upon only a few souvenir shops that sold the same items as all the others. Meanwhile, another British manufacturer of fine bone china has also produced “God Save The King” plates and mugs. Many well-known brands also seem to be cashing in with coronation collections such as Fortnum & Mason, which holds two royal warrants. To celebrate the occasion, the company has unveiled a line of food, drink and keepsake gifts, emblazoned with designs inspired by royal ceremonies.

Bobbleheads in King Charles’ likeness, plush gold crowns trimmed with fake crimson velvet and ermine fur, and flags featuring his portrait are just some of the souvenirs for sale in shops on London streets ahead of the coronation. That said, the most valuable items will likely be those that were never meant to be sold, such as invitations, keeping in mind the better the condition the higher the value. The queen’s desire to ensure her dress honoured all those she served demonstrated her devotion to duty. She liked her coronation dress so much she wore it six more times, one event being the Opening of Parliament in New Zealand and Australia in 1954. For any admirer of our late queen, I can’t think of a more touching royal memento to cherish,” Hornblower said. The royal blue china, produced in the city of Stoke-on-Trent by Royal Collection Trust, features a royal coat of arms, the King’s cypher and a garland of laurel leaves symbolizing peace. The gown was conceptualized by famed British fashion designer Norman Hartnell, who produced nine designs in total for the queen to approve.Profits from the sales of the commemorative items will go to the Royal Collection Trust, a registered charity.
