Walker’s Shortbread launches two new limited-edition tins ahead of His Majesty’s Coronation in May.
The commemorative tins will feature official Royal portrait photography of King Charles III to mark the milestone event.
Carrying the regal color scheme of dark blue with gold accents, each tin captures a poignant image of His Majesty at official events in London and Scotland.
The tins launch this month and are the perfect collector’s item to celebrate a historical new chapter for the Royal family.
- King Charles III: The Westminster Coronation Limited Edition Tin shows King Charles III dressed in his Naval uniform on The Mall, at the 150th-anniversary celebration of Cadet Force, taken by esteemed photographer Anwar Hussein. Each tin is adorned with the national flowers of each country in the United Kingdom: the Scottish thistle, English rose, Welsh daffodil, and Northern Irish shamrock. The flowers symbolize His Majesty’s long appreciation and commitment to the environment. The tin contains 24 all-butter Union Jack Shortbreads (10.6 oz; SRP: 29.99).
- The King Charles III: The Royal Deeside Coronation Limited Edition Tin displays His Majesty at the Highland Games, near the Royal family’s Scottish home, Balmoral Castle. He is wearing a traditional tartan kilt and the striped tie of the Gordon Highlanders regiment of the British Army before the regiment merged with the Queen’s Own Highlanders. The Royal Family has a long history with Scotland and King Charles III spent much of his young life growing up there. The tin contains a selection of iconic shortbread; Triangles, Fingers, Thistles, Rounds and Hearts (5.3 oz; SRP: 22.99).
Each of the distinguished tins is also adorned with the official Royal Warrant for the supply of shortbread to the Royal Household which the Scottish family business was awarded in 2017, as well as a prominent headline tribute of ‘The Coronation of King Charles III.
Sir Jim Walker CBE, Director and third generation of Walker’s Shortbread, was recently invested as a Knight Bachelor in recognition of exceptional services to the food industry following their appointment in the prestigious Central Chancery of the Orders of Knighthood on the Birthday 2022 Honours list.
Walker’s Shortbread released a commemorative collection last month paying homage to the late Queen Elizabeth II with the new Coronation Tins marking the second launch in its extended Royal Tin Collection.
