Prince Harry Once Revealed the "Cold-Blooded" Christmas Gift He Received From a Royal Family Member

Princess Margaret wears a turquoise blue outfit and stands on Buckingham Palace balcony with Prince William, and Prince Harry and Princess Diana, who wear matching green and white outfits.

The British Royal Family is known for its tradition of giving "joke" Christmas gifts to one another. But according to Prince Harry, one member of the family went a step too far with the present they gave him one year.

According to Hello! magazine, Prince Harry shared in his book, Spare, that Princess Margaret once gave him a ballpoint "pen with a small rubber fish wrapped around it, which he described as a 'cold-blooded' gift." The Duke of Sussex subsequently revealed that his relationship with Margaret wasn't very good, and that he felt "nothing for her, except a bit of pity and a lot of jumpiness."
