You’ve probably wondered what sort of for Christmas. Many probably imagine things like expensive jewellery and luxurious clothing, but actually, the like to keep their gift ideas light-hearted.
But it doesn’t stop there, royal commentator Duncan Larcombe told OK!: “It’s a long-running tradition for the family to exchange joke gifts at Christmas, so there’s always a lot of laughter at Sandringham,” so the funnier the gift the better.
He continued: “In the past, used to be the biggest joker, but now I imagine it’s Charles, who has a very strong sense of humour.”
Some of the have been hilarious.
They included a leather toilet seat from to her older brother, and it’s said that Princess Kate handed her brother-in-law a “grow your own girlfriend kit.”

Despite the nation most likely viewing the royal family as serious most of the time, the royal commentator shared that “they like a good giggle like most families”, and the King might be the funniest of them all.
He said: “Charles once said having a sense of humour is what keeps him sane, and so sharing joke presents helps lighten the atmosphere when things can otherwise be quite formal.
“I think the King will definitely be the one playing pranks and messing about with the grandchildren at Christmas. And you can imagine that Princess Anne is a bit like the naughty auntie, with everyone wondering what she might say or do next!”

Instead of handing out gifts on Christmas day, the exchange happens on Christmas Eve, in recognition of their German heritage. According to ex-royal butler Grant Harrold, the “tradition dates back to Queen Victoria.”
He added: “They have afternoon tea in the White Drawing Room at Sandringham, which is an absolutely beautiful room, and then they exchange silly gifts. That’s it done.”
The royals do hand out significant presents as well, particularly for the children, but Grant Harrold revealed that it usually happens on Christmas morning.
Looking back at all the hilarious gifts handed out between the royals over generations, it’ll be interesting to hear what gifts they’ve come up with this year.
