Summary
Description
The Royal Mews stands as a prime example of operational stables globally and houses the prestigious collection of antique coaches and carriages belonging to the royal family, along with the Windsor Greys and Cleveland Bays, the horses that work with the carriages. Even now, the stables retain the duty of coordinating all land travel logistics for His Majesty The King and other royal family members.
The Royal Mews has served as the sovereign's ground transportation hub since 1760, when George III relocated his carriage collection to be near Buckingham Palace--since then, it has been modernized by various monarchs to align with their evolving transportation requirements.Displayed among the historic coaches and carriages are the magnificent Diamond Jubilee State Coach and the Australian State Coach, presented to Queen Elizabeth II as a gift from the people of Australia, complete with central heating!
