The Queen's Strangest Possessions Have People Baffled
Queen Elizabeth has ownership of a lot more than just England. As a consequence of centuries of royal decrees, she has claimed over a slew of luxurious — and often odd — collections of items. In fact, some of her most prized possessions are so extravagant, it's impossible for others to wrap their heads around!
40. A Priceless Art Collection
The Royal Collection of Art is one of Queen Elizabeth's many responsibilities. There are over 1 million items in the collection, and about 150,000 of them are by master artists like Rembrandt and Raphael. Clearly, she has great taste.
39. A Gold Record
During her 50th Jubilee, a song was recorded with the help of Paul McCartney in her honor titled "Party at the Palace." It sold over 100,000 copies, so the record company sent her a golden record of her own.
38. Two Dorgis
Queen Elizabeth is famous for her love of corgis. Recently, her final corgi passed away, so she now has two "dorgis": a cross between corgi and dachshund. They are named Vulcan and Candy, and they are very good.
37. Over 200 Launer Handbags
The monarch is not known for being fashion forward, but she certainly has some brand loyalty. Her favorite Launer purse is her best accessory. At around $2,500 a piece, she has one to match every outfit.
