The Duke and Duchess traveled with an enormous amount of luggage. A trip to a Canadian ranch was made with 148 pieces of luggage.

Those two had many items engraved with their names or crest (a W like symbol with a crown on it)
I can scan some pages from the auction books if anyone is interested.


I'd like to see some pics of the trunks and the crest, if its not too much trouble. Thanks.
