The Royal Mews is home to the historic royal carriages and is run by The Royal Collection Trust. Many of their vehicles have to be kept in perfect condition because they may be called into action at a moment’s notice. One of the highlights is the Diamond Jubilee State Coach. It was made in NSW, Australia to mark 60 years since the Queen’s ascension to the throne back in 2012. It looks traditional but has practical mod cons such as electric windows and heating, as well as a camera inside a gilded crown. The entrance fee is discounted when combined with a visit to the Queen’s Gallery – the main public art gallery of Buckingham Palace.
