Staff at The King's country home, Highgrove House, get to enjoy a festive (and sometimes "rowdy") Christmas party at St. James's Palace each year, and along with the holiday get-together, they're treated to special gifts. Speaking to OLBG, former royal gardener Jack Stooks has opened up for the first time about the presents he was given during the two decades he worked at Highgrove.

"Over the years, I was given the most amazing gifts at both Christmas and for my birthday," Stooks says. "I was there for 21 years so I was blessed enough to amass plenty of presents due to the Royal Family’s generosity."
