Following a series of delays, the royal family made a major gesture for King Charles by releasing an important statement from Buckingham Palace.
Charles, who has close relations with Bahrain's royal family, got a surprise present as he was about to make an important choice for the palace.
The King of Bahrain, Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, gifted Charles a Rolls-Royce automobile as a Coronation gift, according to Palace records for 2023. Along with the automobile, the newly crowned monarch received a gorgeous clock.
The car is currently part of the royal fleet, used for official purposes rather than personal ones. However, it has not yet been observed transporting the Royal Family on public duties.
The luxurious gift is said to be the 'only automobile presented by a foreign royal family to be in the official fleet'.
The Palace typically provides an official list of presents received by members of the royal family each year, but this year's announcement was delayed owing to a variety of issues. According to sources, the delay was caused by the Covid epidemic, Queen Elizabeth's death, and her coronation.
However, this is the first time the list has been published under King Charles' reign.
The donation also reflects Charles' lifelong dedication for environmental protection, as he has implemented more eco-friendly renovations to the Palace. The vehicle can apparently run on both gasoline and biofuel.
Previously, royal sources said that the British monarch has been making important choices to allow his protocol to commute. Speculation arose that Charles intended to abandon the age-old automobile brand for the royal family if they failed to produce an eco-friendly choice.
An source informed The Sun that Charles had ordered a fleet of £160,000 electric Lotus cars produced in Britain.
It remains to be seen whether the Palace will add more eco-friendly luxury automobiles for the monarch as he takes a more proactive approach to making significant improvements.
