13. A picture of a washing machine
presented as a gift to the Duke of Kent, Prince Edward
Assigned to: Unknown
Value Estimate: Not given
The immediate and extended royal families have received some pretty unusual gifts during the course of their modern history. A picture of a washing machine—a gift you might never think to send to someone in the royal family—was given to Prince Edward, the Duke of Kent, one of the royals!

In this perspective, the gift itself seems pretty humorous! We don’t know who gave the prince this gift or what their genuine intentions were! Moreover, the prince obviously noticed the photo—we’re not sure what he did with it!
