Being part of the Royal Family is such a luxury and they definitely get the best of the best in any category they find themselves interested in. Some of them are great investments, others come along with their title, but they also like and can splurge sometimes. So if you want to catch a glimpse of some of the Royals most expensive goods, then this top 5 list will definitely call your attention.
Oriental Circlet Tiara
The number one item in this list had to be one of the greatest symbols of royalty. This is the Oriental Circlet Tiara, which has had an important place in the royal line since Queen Victoria in the second half of the 1800’s and today, this beautiful jewel has an estimated value of at least £6 million. Even though this is considered Crown´s Property and Queen Elizabeth II inherited it from Queen Mother when she ascended the throne, it is still one of the most expensive items that remain at The Royal´s disposal for public appearances.
Queen Mary´s diamond fringe tiara
Under the same category of jewelry, we also have the Queen Mary´s diamond fringe tiara, which has also been worn by Queen Mother, Queen Elizabeth II, Princess Anne and Princess Beatrice in their wedding days. This one is worth around £2 million and it has become kind of a traditional nuptial jewel that only the first daughters of the Royal line can wear so far.
The Queen’s Horses
Her love for horses is not a secret and of course, she has to own only the best ones. Up to this day, it is estimated that her collection consists of 30 race horses, some of which have been gifted, inherited or bought. With them, she has made great monetary transactions both as investments and profits since their maintenance alone has been calculated to circulate around £33 thousand and her profits from her horses championships have reached £7.6 million, but we still have to consider all the money she has spent on horse racing betting and even the animals themselves.
Kate Middleton’s wedding dress
We´ve seen how the Royal Family goes head over heels about their weddings and can we blame them? Everything always looks so breathtaking and elegant that people dream about having a wedding just like that, but once we look at the price tag, the dream bubble simply gets pinched.
In this category, the Duchess of Cambridge leads the way with the most expensive outfit and wedding dress that the Royal Family has ever worn. The Alexander McQueen nuptial gown was designed by Sarah Burton and has an estimated value of more than £245 thousand.
The Queen’s bed
She had to have a bed worthy of herself, no matter how much it costs right? Well, this one certainly is. It was custom made for her supposedly with American horse-tail hairs and more than 2,500 km of silk thread, making its value reach up to £125 thousand and positioning her in the third place on the list of “Most expensive beds“ (The first place is for Kim Kardashian).
Meghan Markle´s Dresses
The second one on the fashion category is the Duchess of Sussex marriage outfits. First of all, we have her Ralph & Ruso engagement portrait dress that was worth around £55 thousand, then she chose a £196 thousand Givenchy wedding dress to walk down the aisle and say yes to marrying Prince Harry, and finally she finished her nuptial gowns with a Stella McCartney reception dress that was around £116 thousand. Such a splurge but it was 100% worth it since she looked stunning at all times.
Who wouldn´t love to buy like them? All the prices are impressive but everything is so beautiful that it may be completely worth the splurge. We wouldn’t expect anything less from the British Royal Family.
