Not only the palace online shops and the souvenir shops of the royal palaces, but also the oddities and daily necessities shops along the tourist miles.

Furniture store John Lewis said sales of coronation memorabilia rose 27 per cent during coronation week compared to the previous week.

The Louise Bear teddy bear, decked out in an ermine coat and crown for the coronation, has never sold so well, the company says.

The porcelain tableware, which is always offered by the Royal Collection Trust, which owns the palace, for important occasions, sold out in droves just before the coronation.

None of the seven plates, cups or caskets are in stock, priced from £30 to £195 (about €34 to €221). However, royal fans can find what they’re looking for on the website for Charles’ private country house, Highgrove Estates.

For example, one teapot had the words “Three Cheers for King Charles” written on it.
