Why do some people love the Royal Family?
Over the years, it seems that more and more people have become obsessed with the Royal Family, and love to keep up to date with what they are doing. There are numerous reasons for this fixation, typically with the contribution of social media.
Of course, any news regarding the Royal Family hits our TVs and phones almost immediately, meaning that the media has made it very easy for the public to become invested in not just the lives of the Royal Family, but also other celebrities too. With hit shows such as The Crown and other documentaries gracing our TV screens, the public are now more interested in the Royal Family than they ever have been before. Sometimes, wanting to know everything about the royals is like wanting to watch the next episode of a popular reality show!
If we delve deeper, the obsession may actually stem from our childhoods. The fascination of fairy tales when we were children has now transpired into the real-life fairy tales of today’s Royal Family. With real-life princes and princesses, mixed with beautiful and extravagant gowns and regalia, it is easy for us to get caught up in reliving this fantasy.
Another reason why people love the Royal Family is simply that as humans, we thrive off feeling included in something important, and want to be a part of history. That will explain why even those of us who aren’t necessarily their biggest fans will still tune in to watch major royal events such as weddings, jubilees and funerals. As we have witnessed these events in real-time, it makes us feel like we were a part of them, and we then get to tell these stories to our children and grandchildren in the future who will be learning about these parts of history.
What to buy someone who loves the Royal Family?
The long list of royal memorabilia that is currently available out there can sometimes be overwhelming, and it can prove difficult to buy a royalist fan a gift which they do not already own!
The most popular gifts are items such as mugs, books, food and drink. Whilst these are great gifts, they are also items which cannot be used over a long period of time. For example, once the book has been read, the excitement of the content wears off, and they will only be left with a used book to add to their book collection, probably never to be touched again. Likewise, with food and drink gifts, once they are consumed, the gift is finished, so therefore the person is unable to treasure this for years to come.
To ensure that you have chosen a spectacular gift that your loved one will adore, you need to think outside of the box. If they love the Royal Family because they love to feel like they are part of history, then something which can be treasured and kept for years to come is the best route to follow. A gift which the person can show-off to others, especially to their future children and grandchildren, is another option to consider if the person loves the Royal Family because of the history element.
Silver Commemorative Coins
We are currently less than three months away from Christmas, so if you have started thinking about what to buy, then we have some fantastic Christmas gift ideas for you; silver commemorative coins.
Collecting or obtaining commemorative coins brings joy for many reasons, whether that be from having the satisfaction of owning intricately designed pieces of art, to building a vast range of knowledge about the history behind the coins, or even just having the pleasure of knowing that you were part of the event that the coin is commemorating, and will be able to reminisce on those memories every time that you look at the coin.
Currently, the most in-demand commemorative coins are royal themed. This is because we have seen some pivotal moments in British history this past year; we saw the sad passing of our longest and oldest reigning monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, and the accession and coronation of our new monarch, King Charles III. As a result of these milestones, a variety of incredible silver commemorative coins have been issued, some with tiny mintages too!
Therefore, it is these silver commemorative coins that would make the perfect Christmas or even birthday gift ideas. When you couple the rarity and uniqueness of the coins with the special royal event in which they are commemorating, you are guaranteed an exceptional gift which will wow your loved one and perhaps even introduce them into the coin-collecting world, which will make your future gift-hunting much easier!

The accession of a new monarch is an event that many people may only ever see once in their lifetime and so people will want the opportunity to own something precious to anchor this memory.
Do you know someone who is a coronation lover? If so, the 2023 King Charles III Coronation Silver One Crown is the ultimate gift choice. This year, King Charles III became the first British monarch to be crowned in the 21st century, and to celebrate an event of such magnitude, this incredible silver one crown was issued. Now what makes this coin stand apart from all others is that it is actually the first of its kind ever to feature the official Coronation Emblem, which pays tribute to The King’s love of the natural world and to the four countries of the United Kingdom.
