The £40 official Buckingham Palace gin, infused with citrus and herbal notes, is made from ingredients handpicked from the garden at Buckingham Palace. The Royal Collection Trust launched the tipple after suffering losses of £30million over the next year because of the closure of its sites due to Covid-19. All profits from sales of the gin go to the Royal Collection Trust, a charity which maintains and displays the large collection of royal artefacts from artwork to furniture held in trust by the Queen for her heirs and the nation. It is hoped sales of the gin will boost the trust as it faces financial difficulties amid the "greatest challenge" in its history. The gin is on sale at the Royal Collection Trust website or in its shops.
