Introduction

The Royal Mews is one of the treasures of Buckingham Palace, storing a precious collection of royal transport vehicles, including horse-drawn carriages and motor vehicles. These vehicles are usually used for coronations, state visits, royal weddings, opening ceremonies of Parliament, and engagement ceremonies. The Gold State Coach is the star of this collection, built in 1792. Ever since, all British monarchs have ridden in this coach to their coronation ceremony. It is one of the most luxurious carriages in the world, and was last used during the Queen's Golden Jubilee celebrations in 2002 to take her and Prince Philip to St Paul's Cathedral for a Thanksgiving service. In addition to these precious transport vehicles, the Mews is also used to store the royal fleet of cars, including the two Bentleys and three Rolls-Royces gifted during the Golden Jubilee in 2002. These cars are also frequently used for various state occasions and royal ceremonies. The Royal Mews at Buckingham Palace is part of the precious historical and cultural heritage of the British monarchy, showcasing its dignity and grandeur.
