Prince Harry Once Received a “Cold-Blooded” Christmas Gift From an Unexpected Royal

The British royal family is known for their Christmas traditions, both new and old, with one of the most widely known being the exchange of funny gag gifts instead of lavish or expensive presents. Prince Harry was no stranger to the tradition, but once received a gag gift from a royal that left him feeling unimpressed.

Spare also hinted at how Harry and wife Meghan Markle may have spent their Christmas this year. In the book, he revealed that he and Markle “FaceTimed with several friends, including a few in Britain. We watched Archie running around the tree. And we opened presents. Keeping to the Windsor family tradition.” He continued, “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.”
