In her 67 years on the throne as British monarch, Queen Elizabeth II has embarked on many travels to African states and as Head of the Commonwealth – made up of 53 sovereign states including African countries – she has given and received thousands of gifts.
While some of these gifts are ordinary, others proved themselves to be colourful and damn right curious.
The sheer numbers of the gifts inspired an exhibition from July 22 through to October 1, 2017 at the Buckingham Palace called “Royal Gifts.”
According to Sally Goodsir, Exhibition Curator at the Royal Collection Trust, the objects displayed had been seen by the queen and approved.
