In 2016, to celebrate her 90th birthday, Queen Elizabeth II received a limited-edition Newmarket Monopoly set from the National Heritage Centre for Horseracing and Sporting Art. This unique gift stands out among the many unusual presents she has received over the years, reflecting her longstanding connection to horse racing and the sporting arts.
A Special Edition Queen Elizabeth II
The limited-edition Newmarket Monopoly set gifted to Queen Elizabeth II is undoubtedly of much greater value than the standard Monopoly sets found in most households. While it remains uncertain whether the Queen ever engaged in a game with it, the unique nature of this edition adds to its charm. This special set was presented to her by the National Heritage Centre for Horseracing and Sporting Art, located in Newmarket, England, a renowned center for equestrian culture and history.
This Monopoly set not only serves as a fun board game but also pays homage to the rich heritage of horse racing, which has been a significant part of the Queen's life and interests.
