Burberry Unveils Royal Capsule Collection for Queen Elizabeth II Centenary
Burberry has officially launched a special four-piece capsule collection, created in close collaboration with the prestigious Royal Collection Trust. This exclusive release is designed to commemorate and celebrate the centenary of the birth of the late Queen Elizabeth II, honouring her profound and enduring influence on British fashion and style throughout her historic reign.
Inspired by the Queen's Countryside Wardrobe
The collection draws direct inspiration from Queen Elizabeth II's iconic countryside wardrobe, thoughtfully reinterpreting her signature outerwear silhouettes and classic heritage accessories through Burberry's own distinctive and contemporary design codes. Each piece reflects the monarch's well-documented preference for timeless, elegant dressing that masterfully balanced practical function with understated sophistication.
From a beautifully belted car coat meticulously crafted in Yorkshire to a luxurious Scottish-woven cashmere scarf and a charming, refined corgi brooch, the collection is a tribute to her personal style. The launch strategically coincides with the opening this spring of the largest-ever exhibition dedicated to the Queen's fashion at The King's Gallery in Buckingham Palace. A curated selection of Burberry garments actually worn by Her Majesty will be prominently displayed as part of this landmark exhibition.
A Legacy of Royal Patronage
Burberry, a brand long synonymous with protection from Britain's famously unpredictable weather, was a frequent and favoured choice of the Queen for her many outdoor engagements. This relationship was formally recognised when the brand was granted a Royal Warrant by Her Majesty in 1955, a prestigious mark of approval that underscores the deep historical connection celebrated by this new collection.
The complete Burberry x Royal Collection Trust capsule collection is now available for purchase through Burberry's own retail stores and its official online platform. It will also be offered at official Royal Collection Trust shops located in London, Edinburgh, and Windsor.
Collection Highlights
Corgi Brooch: This playful yet polished gold-plated brooch features a charming enamelled check coat design on a corgi silhouette. A delicate freshwater pearl detail, engraved with the signature Burberry Knight motif, adds a heritage feel, making it an effortless accessory to elevate any outfit with subtle personality.
Balmoral Silk Scarf: Crafted in Italy from lustrous silk twill, this elegant scarf showcases exquisite hand-painted artwork inspired by Balmoral Castle and a playful pack of corgis. Framed by a deep green interpretation of Burberry's iconic check pattern, it introduces a refined pop of colour and narrative detail perfect for pairing with neutral coats or sharp blazers.
Check Cashmere Scarf: A timeless cold-weather essential, this classic Burberry Check scarf is manufactured in Scotland using traditional weaving techniques. The luxuriously soft cashmere is washed in local spring water and gently brushed to achieve a natural sheen, creating an effortlessly elegant layer that complements both smart tailoring and relaxed off-duty looks.
Long Gabardine Car Coat: Offering a modern interpretation of heritage outerwear, this belted car coat is tailored in Yorkshire from lightweight olive cotton gabardine. The subtly iridescent weave adds visual depth and dimension, while a silk lining refreshed in a holly green check delivers a discreet flash of the brand's signature pattern. It is an ideal piece for polished everyday dressing or race-day sophistication.
