8. Cowboy Boots

Given to: Queen Elizabeth II Assigned to: Unknown Value Estimate: Not given Since Queen Elizabeth II was an enthusiastic horseback rider, it should come as no surprise that this was one of her favourite activities. Thus, it seemed only natural that, while on a state visit to the United States—more especially, Texas—she receive a stunning pair of cowboy boots from an undisclosed source.
