The Royal Family are known for the cheeky gifts they like to give to each other for Christmas but it looks like Prince William might be giving his wife Princess Kate something special this year.
The Family will gather at Sandringham every year on Christmas Eve – a nod to their German ancestry – and exchange their Christmas gifts after afternoon tea.
Now King Charles’s former butler, Grant Harrold has given a rare inside into the festive doing of the royals doing Christmas while he also had a cheeky guess at what the Princess of Wales might be getting from her husband.
Speaking on behalf of Slingo, Mr Harrold said: “Christmas presents with the Royals are always jokey. They’re always a bit of fun.
“But with William and Kate, I’m sure they will give each other something nice that they will like. Kate will probably get a watch or some jewellery from William.”

The former royal butler revealed that the late Queen Elizabeth was a “huge advocate” for Christmas and “wanted everyone together” and King Charles will want the same too.
Harrold added: “Christmas is very much a time for the Royal family to be together. It’s a time of caring and being there for each other.
“Prince Albert was a huge advocate for Christmas and so was the Queen. She wanted everyone there and enjoying themselves.
“They’ve worked so hard to make Christmas an important time for the family. The King will do what he can to carry on that tradition as it has been what he’s used to while growing up.”

Even Prince Harry spoke about how the royals would spend Christmas together.
Harry wrote in Spare: “The whole family gathered to open gifts on Christmas Eve, as always, a German tradition that survived the anglicizing of the family surname from Saxe-Coburg-Gotha to Windsor.
“We were at Sandringham in a big room with a long table covered with white cloth and white name cards. By custom, at the start of the night, each of us located our place, stood before our mound of presents.
“Then suddenly, everyone began opening at the same time. A free-for-all, with scores of family members talking at once and pulling at bows and tearing at wrapping paper.”
