Where to Buy the Best British Royal Family Merchandise
Arguably the most famous family in the world is the British royal family. The monarchy is not only steeped in history but a central facet of it.
Today, they are loved and adored the world over. And every royal event, be it happy or unhappy, creates two things: global interest and a line of royal family merchandise.
While most royal family merchandise is available online with a basic search, there is something special about owning a piece of authentic, genuine royal family merch that originates from the UK itself.
Can you imagine owning a piece of royal family merch about Her Majesty and the Platinum Jubilee, or any piece of royal family merchandise for that matter, that comes directly from inside Buckingham Palace or Windsor Castle? Queen Elizabeth II herself could have wandered through one of the royal gift shops and touched the very piece you end up buying. How exciting is that?
But there is one problem. It’s not easy to shop online outside of the UK. But this is where forward2me comes in, and you can rest assured that, using forward2me’s UK parcel forwarding service, we will get that special piece of royal family memorabilia to your front door safely and securely.
Royal family merchandise sellers in the UK
If you search, you will quickly see that there is no shortage of shops in the UK that sell British royal family souvenirs.
In fact, it's a market all by itself everywhere in the country. But, if you want to be sure you are buying official and authentic British royal gifts, an online search is not really the best idea. You should only buy from the most credible shops, such as the British royal family gift shop itself, located in London, England.
The British royal shop isn't the only option; simply the most impressive one to brag about.
So, you can spend hours and days conducting one search after another search in the hopes of finding a reliable source.
But to make things easier for those who can't be in London, England, for the long weekend in June to celebrate the Platinum Jubilee, we provide you with this list of shops to choose from to buy your official royal royalties souvenirs.

About
The British Museum is one of the few buildings in the world where you can relive the last 2 million years of human existence. And as the British monarchy was central to the creation and history of the United Kingdom, Europe, and the world, the museum offers both exhibits and unique souvenirs of the British monarchy.
