Prince Harry 'roared' at Meghan's Christmas present - but it ended up being binned

A lot of people will always have the curiosity into what high-end celebrities get each other for birthdays and Christmas when they don't have to worry about money.

Fancy cars, jewels and clothing is no object when it comes to superstars, reports the Mirror. But when it comes to the Royal Family, they've been known to favour thoughtful gifts rather than flashy presents.

And it turns out that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have kept this royal tradition after quitting their roles and moving to the States.

In his memoir Spare, Harry recalls a thoughtful gift his wife gave him back in 2020 - their first festive season after quitting their senior roles.

The Duke explains that Meghan spotted a Christmas tree ornament with a picture of his Granny - the late Queen - on it in a local store, and “thought he would like it”.

He did, saying he “roared” when he opened it, putting it straight on the tree at Archie’s eye-level. However, this gift didn't last long as Archie found the tree rather amusing and pulled the decoration off with his little toddler hands.

It ended up smashing into pieces, and had to be binned. Harry wrote: "I grabbed a dustpan and swept up the pieces, all the while thinking: This is weird.”
