Members of the Royal Family might be able to afford anything they want for Christmas, but instead of lavish presents, they have a tradition of giving each other silly gag gifts on Christmas Eve. Some highlights over the years include the "grow your own girlfriend" kit that Princess Kate once gave to Prince Harry, a leopard-print bath mat that Princess Diana presented to Sarah Ferguson, and a shower cap reading "Ain’t life a bitch" that Prince Harry once gifted Queen Elizabeth. But former royal butler Paul Burrell says that along with joke gifts, Prince Harry and Prince William had other pranks up their sleeves.
Speaking to OLBG, Burrell—who served as Princess Diana's butler for the decade preceding her 1997 death—shares that in the days before online shopping, he used to "have to go out shopping to Selfridges, Harrods and Fortnum and Mason and all the top stores and find things that were unusual or funny for William and Harry to give."
