Queen Elizabeth II launches a range of “Sandringham merchandise”, including a posh dishwashing liquid, dog cologne, and organic honey!

It's odd to think of the members of the Royal Family doing household chores given that they have numerous Palace staff members to do the work for them.
But, in reality, many royals still attend to at least some of their own household chores, including Queen Elizabeth II herself.
No need to do a double-take, folks! Palace insiders confirmed that the monarch actually enjoys doing some domestic work, which includes cooking and washing dishes.
A former royal courtier even revealed that the Queen voluntarily did the dishes after a long lunch at Wood Cottage on the Sandringham Estate, where Prince Philip spent his retirement. (mind-boggling if you ask us!)
So, it is not surprising that the newest collection of Her Majesty's merchandise includes an eco-friendly dishwashing soap!

The Queen has recently launched The Natural Dish Wash — the monarch's own brand of posh dishwashing liquid, featuring the scent of "coastal walks".
The dishwashing liquid is sold in 500 ml bottles adorned with the logo of the Royal Sandringham Estate and is priced at a whopping $26 per bottle.
"Inspired by a shared passion for protecting our environment, we have collaborated with Norfolk Natural Living, to create our dish wash just 10 miles from the estate, using the finest botanical ingredients," the label on the bottle reads.

The posh dishwashing liquid comes just a month after Her Majesty released her own brand of dog cologne.
It should be noted that the Queen is an avid dog lover and has owned more than 30 corgis since ascending to the throne in 1952.
The $18 Happy Hounds Dog Cologne comes in a sleek 200 ml bottle and is a result of the collaboration between the Queen and Norfolk Natural Living.
The cologne also features the "essence of Coastal Walks" and is made from witch hazel and a blend of essential oils.
Similar to the dishwashing liquid bottles, the bottles of dog cologne are also adorned with the Sandringham Royal Estate crown symbol.
The label on the back of the bottle states: "Inspired by a shared passion for protecting our environment, we have collaborated with Norfolk Natural Living, to create our Dog Cologne just 10 miles from the estate using only the finest botanical ingredients."
"To use: Spritz a generous amount into the palm of your hand and smooth over your dog's freshly washed and dried coat to help rid any unwanted odours and keep them smelling fresh."

The Queen's range of merchandise also includes a jar of honey collected from the hives placed around fields and hedgerows at Her Majesty's Norfolk estate.
The label on the jar claims that the honey is collected from bees which harvest nectar “from the avenues of pleached Lime trees and wildflowers including Phacelia, Clover and Blackcurrants”.
It was said that the introduction of the honeybee hives at the Royal Family's rural retreat is Prince Charles' initiative to make the 20,000-acre estate "fully organic".
Additionally, the planting of wildflowers was also promoted on the estate, allowing the bee population to flourish.
It should also be noted that the use of pesticides is banned on the estate, which allowed the production of organic honey.
The 454 g honey jars retail for $26 each.
Did anyone else know the Queen had her own range of merchandise available for royal fans to purchase? It was certainly news to us!
