Royal Family's Preferred Umbrella Brand Offers Affordable Styles
Fulton, a brand with a longstanding connection to British royalty, provides practical and stylish umbrellas that are accessible to the public.
British heritage brand Fulton, known for its association with the Royal Family, offers a range of umbrellas that combine quality, craftsmanship, and timeless style, with many designs available to the public at accessible price points.
Fulton umbrellas became a signature element of Queen Elizabeth II's wardrobe, with the late monarch often choosing custom-made Birdcage designs to coordinate with her outfits. This tradition was influenced by her mother, Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, who in 1988 sought out Fulton's pioneering clear domed umbrella. Although the style had been discontinued, Fulton revived it at the Queen Mother's request, earning the brand a Royal Warrant. Queen Elizabeth II later granted the brand her own Royal Warrant in 2008.
More recently, Queen Camilla has been seen favoring Fulton's transparent brollies for their practicality and elegance. She was recently pictured with the brand's signature birdcage umbrella during an outing with Prince William in South Wales. Catherine, Princess of Wales, has been noted to prefer the brand's walking umbrellas.
Many of these royal-favored styles are available for purchase. The classic Birdcage 1 model, available in various colors like red, silver, and black, features a domed shape for full coverage and a high-grade PVC canopy for clear visibility. Other available options include the Morris & Co. Tiny 2 UV umbrella in a William Morris print, offering UPF50+ protection and a compact design; the Mayfair Walking Umbrella with a lightweight frame and wooden handle; and the Bloomsbury 2, which features a leopard print interior. For those seeking a more playful option, the Curio 2 UV umbrella comes with a duck print and a novelty handle, while the Riva Auto 2 umbrella offers a bold stripe design and wind resistance.
