The royals are known for gag gifts instead of expensive or flashy ones, but Princess Diana’s chic taste in gifts was at odds with the family’s Christmas traditions.
Butler explained that Diana collected Harry and William “the weekend before” Christmas, because they attended the annual Christmas walk at Sandringham and would celebrate the official holidays—Christmas Eve and Christmas Day—with Charles and Queen Elizabeth instead. “She and I would make stockings for William and Harry and then William would whisper in my ear and ask me what mummy would like for her Christmas stocking,” Burrell said.
