Travel Accessories

Transporting the monarch, and in some cases the entire Royal Household, has always been a complex affair. Official and State Visits often include formal engagements requiring suitable gifts or special dress, which must be prepared and transported with the royal party. Royal travellers also require appropriate amenities for long journeys, as well as all the equipment necessary to continue royal business while away from home.

Today the Collection contains numerous travel accessories acquired by monarchs and their contemporaries. Some represent the latest fashions in contemporary travel, while others were designed for convenience and mobility, enabling day-to-day routines to continue on the move.
