On the eve of Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding, Hungary formally presented Royal Garden dinnerware as the country's official gift to the royal couple. Created by Herend specifically for William and Kate, the design is a modern interpretation of Herend's classic Queen Victoria pattern, which celebrated its 160th anniversary in 2011. Queen Victoria was first purchased in 1851 by its namesake upon her seeing it in London at the first World's Fair.
