Queen Elizabeth II, although over 90, still travels a lot, and is probably the best-traveled monarch in history. But what does she take with her on her travels? Some of it is the usual, but a few things she packs are pretty strange.
Blood
Her own, that is. This is when Her Majesty is traveling to places where there might not be a reliable blood supply available in case of emergency. A doctor accompanies her on all her travels.

Jet-lag remedy
The Queen is in demand as soon as her plane touches down, so she has no time for jet lag. She has luckily discovered the perfect antidote: sugar barley. Who knew?!
A black wardrobe
All royals have to pack funeral-appropriate, all-black outfits in case another royal dies. That way, they will arrive back in the UK in the appropriate attire.
Colorful attire
Wherever the Queen travels, she is mobbed by thousands of people who all want to be able to say they saw her. That’s why she wears eye-catching, brightly-colored outfits on tour.
A kettle
Like many Britons, the Queen travels with her own supply of tea, which for her is Earl Grey. She also packs a kettle … and it’s monogrammed.
