Royal Animals explores the long-standing relationship between animals and the monarchy, focusing on the lives of some of the most memorable, weird and wonderful creatures ever to grace the royal court.
Designed to accompany the special exhibition beingmounted at the Summer Opening of Buckingham Palace in 2020, this book explores their ceremonial function, agricultural role and the historical practice of presenting animals as diplomatic gifts.
Seldom seen works of art from the Royal Collection bring to life the ponies, dogs, horses and birds, as well as the rare breeds and royal menageries, that have been the companions and favourites of royalty down the ages.
