In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the royal household has also released its own Platinum Jubilee branded hand sanitiser mini bottles – a must-have for any royal fans planning to brave the crowds at the upcoming Jubilee celebrations.

Dog Cologne and shampoo

The Queen’s Sandringham estate has also collaborated with Norfolk Natural Living to create a dog cologne and shampoo scented like 'coastal walks'. The £9.99 fragrance is designed to help your pet "get rid of any unwanted odours and keep them smelling fresh" and is made from witch hazel and a blend of essential oils.

The shampoo is also available as part of a £45 Sandringham Happy Hound gift box available to order online, which also includes an embroidered tweed bone dog toy, and game bone treats made with venison from the Sandringham Estate. No doubt they're a popular treat among Her Majesty's beloved pet dogs.
