It details the presents given to the Royal Family in 2018 by, among others, the King and Queen of The Netherlands, US President Donald Trump and the High Commissioner for Malta. Her Majesty The Queen also received a horse statuette, an ornamental incense burner with elephant detail and lace pearl drop gold earrings with garnets and amethysts. Official gifts can be worn and used, but are not considered the royals' personal property, and they do not pay tax on them. Gifts cannot be sold or exchanged and eventually become part of the Royal Collection, which is held in trust by the Queen for her successors and the nation. The rules on official presents were tightened following the Peat inquiry in 2003 into the sale of royal gifts and the running of St James's Palace.
