Australian State Coach

Australian State Coach

The Australian State Coach is one of the British royal family’s ceremonial carriages, a gift from Australia that carries modern comforts such as heating and electric windows beneath its traditional gilded exterior. During the state visit of the Sultan of Oman in October 2026, Prince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales, travelled in it during the carriage procession to Windsor Castle, following behind the King and his guest in the Irish State Coach.
