Queen loved Meghan Markle’s funny Christmas gift before the corgis ruined it

What do you get the people who have everything when it comes to gifts? The Royal Family is well known for their eccentric and distinctive holiday customs, which range from allegedly weighing themselves before and after dinner to make sure they are “well-fed” to outlawing Monopoly because it gets too “vicious.”

Another amusing custom is that they exchange practical joke gifts at Christmas. Previous gifts have included a leather toilet seat, a “grown your own girlfriend kit,” and even a shower cap with the words “Ain’t life a b****” written on it. It must be extremely stressful for royals who spend their first Christmas at Sandringham to buy presents for the family. Despite some reportedly having trouble, the first gift Meghan Markle bought for the late Queen was well received.

The entire royal family will spend Christmas together and participate in yearly rituals like attending church services, watching the monarch’s speech, and chowing down on delectable roast dinners.

The late Queen’s great-great-grandmother, Queen Victoria, began a tradition that the royals have their own spin on when it comes to giving gifts.

The royal family celebrates Christmas Eve by opening presents, as is customary in Germany.

The 20ft Christmas tree in the White Drawing Room is decorated by the Queen’s grandchildren and great-grandchildren on Christmas Eve, according to royal expert Robert Jobson, who spoke to The Express in 2021.

“Gifts are laid out in the Red Drawing Room on a white linen-covered trestle table, with cards indicating exactly where the piles of gifts should be put. The royals still adhere to the German custom of opening their presents on Christmas Eve.

The royal guests take part in a traditional Christmas after everyone has arrived, which includes decorating the tree and exchanging cheap and amusing gifts.

Meghan Markle triumphed during her first Christmas with the Royal Family with the present she picked out for her future mother-in-law.

The late Queen was reportedly given a singing toy hamster by Meghan, and she was so taken with it that she said, “It can keep my dogs company.”

a source reported “For Her Majesty, Meghan purchased a miniature singing hamster. Particularly when the corgis attempted to grab the toy, it was hilarious.”

But before the festivities were over, the Queen’s adored corgis attacked it and destroyed it, so she was unable to enjoy its song for very long.

Despite the fact that these gifts are meant to be completely absurd, The Princess of Wales gave one item that demonstrated a sentimental break with convention.

Kate revealed the thoughtful gift in an ITV documentary honoring the 90th birthday of the Queen.

According to the Princess, “I clearly recall spending Christmas at Sandringham for the first time. And I was concerned about what to get the Queen for Christmas. God, what should I get her? I wondered. I considered the gift I would give to my own grandparents. I then said to myself, “I’ll make her something,” which could have gone very badly. But I made the chutney per my grandmother’s recipe.

“I think such a simple gesture went such a long way for me and I’ve noticed since she’s done that on lots of occasions and I think it just shows her thoughtfulness, really, and her care in looking after everybody,” she said. “I was a little worried about it, but I noticed the next day that it was on the table.”
