King Charles received a variety of official gifts between 2020 and 2023, including a Rolls-Royce Cullinan from the King of Bahrain, valued at around €430,000 in the Netherlands. Other gifts included a book from Henry Kissinger, a CD and DVDs of Beethoven from German President Steinmeier, and a feathered crown from indigenous leaders of the Amazon. Buckingham Palace has published the list of gifts, which also includes those received by other members of the royal family, such as the late Queen Elizabeth.
Official gifts can be used but are not considered personal property of the royals. They cannot be sold or exchanged, and no taxes are paid on them. Perishable gifts worth less than £150 can be donated to charity or staff.
The publication of the gift list was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the death of Queen Elizabeth, and the coronation of King Charles. This is the first such list published during Charles's reign.
