The Saudi royal family has given the Duchess of Cornwall three new pieces of jewellery, while the Prince of Wales has received a gold Arabian sword during their tour of Gulf countries.

Camilla Parker-Bowles and Prince Charles were given the gifts by the King of Bahrain as part of their overseas tour, with the gold and bejewelled sword just one of many gifts bestowed on the royal couple.

The official list was made public on Monday and includes three stunning jewellery pieces given to the duchess, which would add to the collection already buoyed by the $120,000 necklaces given to her on a recent trip to the US.

The gold sword given to the prince was presented in a gold-plated and jewel encrusted scabbard, with the prince also being given an Arabian stallion.

There are strict rules governing gifts given to the royal family, with all presents recorded officially and the royals not being allowed to sell or exchange them.
