Meghan Markle's first gift for Queen Elizabeth II reportedly went down a storm - but sadly it didn't last very long thanks to the late monarch's beloved pet corgis
When it comes to buying a present for the person who has everything, what do you get? The Royal Family are notorious for their funny tradition of buying each other gag gifts, with previous presents including a leather toilet seat, a 'grown your own girlfriend kit' and even a shower cap which had “Ain’t life a b****”.
A source said: "Meghan bought a little hamster that sings with a little rope for Her Majesty. It was so funny, especially when the corgis tried to take hold of the toy." In an ITV documentary celebrating the Queen's 90th birthday, Kate shared the story behind her own thoughtful gift. She reminisced: "I can remember being at Sandringham, for the first time, at Christmas. And I was worried what to give the Queen as her Christmas present."
