Wedding gifts for crown Princess Elizabeth from Great Britain.

Queen Mary's gift: a chest of jewels: a diamond tiara, a diamond bandeau, the famous diamond brooch given to her by Q.Vic. on the occasion of her own wedding, another diamond bow brooch, two diamond bangle bracelets, diamonds all round that she had been given at her Delhi Durbar 1911, a ruby and diamond bracelet and a pair of diamond and pearl earrings.
Plus, several pieces of Georgian silver, a fourfold antique Chinese screen, sev. rare mahogany tables, linen and some lamps and shades that had once belonged to Q. Alexandra...
The King personally gave his daughter a sapphire and diamond necklace with matching earrings and a pair of guns,
The Queen gave her a a ruby and diamond necklace, a pair of diamond drop earrings and two rows of mag, pearls.

Some funny pieces:  nylon stockings, american towels and bathmats from Mrs. Roosevelt
And a fringed lacework cloth made out of yarn spun by Mahatma Gandhi on his own spinning wheel. It looked to Queen Mary like a loincloth and she was incensed enough about it to demand it be removed, an order that was carried out, and so Item number 1211 Mahatma Gandhi Donor was seen only by early comers....*
Not bad, eh??

"Choosing just the right wedding presents is never an easy task, all the more so when the newlywed couple is royalty. But Casper Schultz, Managing Director of Mitsubishi Motor Sales Danmark (MMSD), found the perfect gift for the recent wedding of Danish Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary: his and hers Mitsubishi cars.

At an informal ceremony a few days before the actual wedding, Crown Prince Frederik was presented with a brand new Lancer Evolution VIII sports sedan, while bride-to-be Mary was offered an Outlander SUV.  The presentation ceremony took place at romantic Fredensborg Castle in Zealand.

The Crown Prince was visibly delighted with his gift, and wasted no time in opening the hood, the better to admire the powerful turbocharged two-liter engine that resides beneath. Likewise, Crown Princess Mary, a known fan of horseback riding, was looking forward to taking her new steed out to the fields and marshes near their castle in Graasten in southern Jutland.
 
The gifts are part of a long-standing relationship between Mitsubishi Motors and the Danish royal family. Previously, it was Prince Henrik who received a Pajero SUV and an L200 pickup truck for use during the pursuit of his favored hobbies of hunting and sailing.

Future purchasers of wedding gifts may wish to emulate the generosity of MMSD's Schultz and offer a Mitsubishi car as a token of appreciation. The Danish royal family would likely approve of such a selection."

The Danish people´s gift to their future royal couple is a Flora Danica dinner service with plates and cups bearing the young couple´s new monogram, designed by Queen Margrethe II of Denmark, mother of the Crown Prince.

A very special wedding gift, come on

Galuh, I would love  to share with you some of the pix, but I simply am too stupid to understand how to scan pix and post them...
If you have the book the Queen jewels by Leslie Field, then you should be able to find them...

Expressing the good wishes of the American people, President and Mrs. Reagan are giving Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer a wedding present befitting a future King and Queen. It is a magnificently engraved Steuben glass bowl.

Seems to be tradition too, or mere coincidence, since QEII was given a Steuben crystal vase too by the american President and Mrs Truman....

Thanks for the info, I'll have a look if the book is available in public library here.

I read that Mary and Fred received 1800 gifts in relation to their wedding.

From Jyllands Posten:
Kronprins Frederikg og kronprinsesse Mary fik 1800 gaver i forbindelse med deres bryllup. Gaverne udstilles nu på Christiansborg Slot

1800 gifts is a lot ... and no thank you from them ...

I am sure Mary would've been happier with a Prada gift card instead of the 1800 gifts.
