The Royal Family of England has received a magnificent gift from Australia. Well, it’s a state carriage inlaid with gold and a design so spectacular that it has made the entire world drop its jaw. With an estimated price of 620,000 pounds, this befitting royal beauty will be the second carriage in the last 100 years to belong to the Royal family. In fact, it might just carry Price William and Prince Harry to their weddings.
Designed by Jim Frecklington, the state carriage took two years to be built under the supervision of Duke of Edinburgh, who is a famous carriage driver himself. Buzz is that the two door handles are decorated with 24 diamonds and 130 sapphires. At a measurement of 20 ft length and 11 ft height, the carriage weighs close to 2.75 tons.
