The Royal Family are notorious for buying one another joke gift presents to celebrate Christmas - a royal expert speaks to OK! about some of the funniest gifts ever exchanged
Gift-giving can be a challenging affair when your nearest and dearest already own priceless jewels, designer clothes and luxury cars. So instead of splashing out on expensive, over-the-top items, the royals don’t take seasonal gifting seriously.
Harry, meanwhile, is said to have presented the late Queen with a shower cap which had “Ain’t life a b***h” written on it! The daft present-buying has spanned generations. Diana, Princess of Wales, reportedly once gave her sister-in-law, Sarah, Duchess of York, a garish leopard print bath mat. Made using a recipe passed down by her grandmother, it hit the right note, being both personal and practical. “I was slightly worried about it, but I noticed the next day that it was on the table,” said a relieved Kate.
However, Grant says that more significant presents – especially gifts for the children – are likely to be exchanged on Christmas morning. In 1955, she was snapped leaving London department store Harrods after a spot of Christmas shopping with her cousin-in-law, the Duchess of Kent. She was also a visitor to shops close to Balmoral, her Scottish residence.
