👑 Royal Storage: What Prince Harry Should Have Packed Before Leaving the Palace

When Prince Harry and Meghan Markle packed up their royal lives and moved to sunny California, the world watched with bated breath — some out of admiration, others with popcorn. But one question your average Brit (or storage provider) might’ve had was: where did all that royal stuff go?

We’re not talking about crowns and corgis — we’re talking about the real logistical nightmare of moving out of a centuries-old institution and into a rental with questionable Wi-Fi.

As a storage company, we see people make big life changes all the time. So, in honor of Harry’s dramatic exit (and your potential move), here’s what he probably should have put in storage — and what you definitely should if you're making a royal exit of your own.

🎩 1. Military Uniforms and Medals

Harry served in the military with pride — but as his royal duties were shelved, so too were the fancy uniforms.

Storage Tip: Military gear deserves respectful, climate-controlled storage. Bonus points if it's mothproofed and folded better than a royal guard's handshake.

📚 2. Decades of Royal Family Memorabilia

You know there's a stash of corgi figurines, Jubilee mugs, awkward palace portraits, and maybe even a spare throne knocking about.

Storage Tip: Keep family heirlooms in a secure, humidity-controlled unit — especially if the family you’re leaving might want them back.

🧸 3. Private Gifts From Public Tours

Didn’t Harry and Meghan get gifted a surfboard in Australia? You can’t exactly fit that in a Kensington Palace closet — or a Montecito bungalow either.

Storage Tip: Oversized or seasonal items like surfboards, sleds, or your “I’ll use it one day” treadmill? All perfect candidates for self-storage.

👶 4. The Royal Baby Overflow

From handmade baby gifts by world leaders to multiple prams fit for a prince — baby items multiply faster than tabloid headlines.

Storage Tip: Store baby gear in labeled bins and rotate based on season, age, or sibling-on-the-way status. Royal or not, baby clutter is universal.

💼 5. Unused Palace Furniture

Sure, you could try to style a California mansion like Buckingham Palace, but unless your interior decorator’s nickname is "Her Majesty," it’s probably not going to match.

Storage Tip: Antique furniture should be bubble-wrapped, blanket-covered, and stored off the floor in elevated racks. Even the Queen would approve.

🧳 Final Thoughts: From Palace to Public Storage

If even royalty needs a reset, you’re not alone in needing a little extra space. Whether you're moving across the country, downsizing after a life change, or just can’t bear to part with your grandmother’s vintage tea set — a secure storage unit is the next best thing to a spare wing of Windsor Castle.
