King Charles enjoys pranking staff with 'bizarre' Christmas gifts, says butler
The royal family will soon be heading to Sandringham, where they will be continuing the tradition of spending the Christmas season at the Norfolk estate.
Former royal butler, Grant Harrod, also reveals that it's not just family members who receive rather "bizarre" gifts but staff members tend to be pranked with these too. "The other thing he used to do is, we all used to have these pigeon holes where I'd get my post in the mornings and what he used to do at Christmas, he used to leave funny little things.
Grant added that staff wouldn't only be gifted these strange items, but would receive actual gifts too: "But for actual proper gifts would be things like tea cups and saucers or whiskey glasses. One year I got a lovely water jug." Speaking exclusively to OK!, former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond has said the Duke and Duchess of Sussex spending Christmas with the other royals would likely lead to an “awkward” encounter.
