The crackers contain a selection of practical and eco-conscious gifts, including a small pot of jam and a wooden honey drizzler.
Bee-saving flower seeds are also included, reflecting the King’s well-documented interest in environmental causes.
The wool twine, while perhaps unexpected in a Christmas cracker, aligns with Highgrove’s focus on traditional and sustainable items.
Buyers are promised a luxurious experience, with the estate’s marketing materials stating: “Our crackers exude sophistication and indulgence.”

The contents aim to reflect both the royal estate’s values and its premium positioning in the Christmas market.
Each cracker combines practical garden-focused items with more traditional festive luxury touches, creating a distinctly Highgrove offering.
The royal Christmas retail offerings extend well beyond the luxury crackers, with a £295 Highgrove Royal Christmas Hamper taking centre stage.
The hamper includes Laurent-Perrier champagne, described as “dry, crisp, and fruity,” alongside a bottle of dark berry Côtes du Rhône.
