The King is flogging Highgrove Luxury Christmas Crackers
Buyers are told: “Our crackers exude sophistication and indulgence.”
The gifts inside, billed as the pieces-de-résistance, include a little pot of jam, a wooden honey drizzler, wool twine and bee-saving flower seeds.
Charles also hopes to rake in £75,000 by flogging ten copies of a painting he made of his garden for £7,500 a pop.
The limited edition lithograph of The Terrace Garden is said to show “the King’s artistic talent and deep connection to the natural world”.
He is also selling a box of 12 mini mince pies for £10.95 and the Highgrove Royal Christmas Hamper is on offer for a budget-busting £295.
The King’s website says:
“Inside, you’ll discover a bottle of our best-selling dry, crisp, and fruity champagne from Laurent-Perrier, perfect for celebrating Christmas Day.
“Additionally, there’s a bottle of our dark berry Côtes du Rhône to complement your Christmas meal, whether it’s roast beef, pig or lamb.
“But that’s not all—the hamper also includes a variety of traditional Christmas cakes and puddings, such as Iced Christmas Cake, classic boozy Christmas Pudding, Christmas Shortbread, and Dark Chocolate Dipped Orange Slices.
“We’ve included a jar of our organic Christmas Preserve and organic Spiced Fruit Chutney to accompany your cheese selection.
“And for breakfast or teatime, enjoy the classic Prince of Wales blend loose tea from one of the fine bone china mugs also tucked away nicely in this exquisite hamper.”
Conclusion:
King Charles is leveraging his royal status to flog luxury Christmas items to the public. From bespoke crackers to limited edition lithographs, the monarch’s Highgrove estate is offering a range of extravagant gifts for the holiday season.
