As Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle have joined the royal family, the Queen has extended her generosity to her granddaughters-in-law, showing her fondness for the new royals through amazing gifts.
In March, the Queen's youngest child was given a new title as the Earl of Forfar. Edward will be able to use the title when visiting Scotland, with the title having last been used in 1715. His wife, Sophie, will be known as the Countess of Forfar.

It isn't just blood relations who have received lavish gifts from the Queen, but her in-laws too.

The marriage of Princess Eugenie to Jack Brooksbank was the second big royal wedding of 2018, but the Queen ensured that her granddaughter wasn't outshone on her big day. The core aspects of the wedding and reception were all paid for by the monarch, while Eugenie also was loaned the Greville Emerald Kokoshnik Tiara from the Queen's collection as her 'something borrowed'.

When Zara Tindall married rugby player Mike Tindall in 2011, the Queen ensured that her oldest granddaughter enjoyed her day in style. The Queen closed Holyroodhouse, her official residence in Edinburgh, for five days during Zara's wedding. This cost the Royal Collection £40,000 in admissions, all of which the monarch reimbursed from her own pocket.

In 1987, Her Majesty gifted Princess Anne the new title of Princess Royal. The title was first used in 1642, with the last royal to hold this time being Princess Mary from 1932-65. As Princess Royal, Anne supports the Queen's role as sovereign and carries out official duties on her behalf.

In 2017 the Queen and Prince Philip celebrated their platinum wedding anniversary and the monarch honoured her husband by bestowing him with a new title as Knight Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order. The personal appointment was a recognition of "services to the sovereign", with the Queen thanking Philip for being her "strength and stay" for 70 years.
Back in 1957, the Duke of Edinburgh was given the title of Prince. "The Queen has been pleased to declare her will and pleasure that His 'Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh shall henceforth be known as His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh," the palace said in a statement on Feb. 22, 1957.

When Prince Andrew married Sarah Ferguson in 1986, the Queen gifted her son a new home in Berkshire. Sunninghill Park was built after the couple married and was dubbed 'SouthYork', with the Duchess of York staying in the property with her daughters following the couple's divorce in 1996.
