Queen’s Platinum Jubilee 2022 memorabilia: the best merchandise

Since taking the throne in 1952, Queen Elizabeth II has worn bareface on everything: from delicate commemorative teaspoons to towels, to paintings to adorn your walls.

The odds are very high that if you have an elderly relative who adores the long-standing monarch, you will drink a cup of tea from the cup sold to mark her coronation (or a Charles and Diana mug given to you). sold to mark their ill-fated wedding, but less than that).

And since this year marks 70 years since Queen Elizabeth II first became queen, it’s natural that there are plenty of memorabilia on sale to mark the occasion.

Now, all you have to do is visit a tourist shop in any UK city to discover that royal memorabilia are not all created equal. There are many commemorative mugs and plates with poorly rendered pictures, as well as creepy masks with royal images on them.

And while a royal teapot or tea towel are all the rage to mark her coronation at the age of fifty, fortunately things have progressed impressively since then. Don’t waste your money on a set of teaspoons that will end up in a showcase and never deployed – why not invest in the Jubilee Weekend Cooler Bag, overflowing with celebratory gifts instead. ?

There are much better options for partial commemorative merchandise – from gorgeous drinks and silk scarves, to books and of course, commemorative coins. Perfect for the ardent monarchy in your life.
