The British royal family is known for its tradition of giving each other Christmas gifts with “jokes. However, according to Prince Harry, one year a member of the family gave him a gift that went too far.

“Hello! magazine reported that Prince Harry once received a “ballpoint pen with a little rubber fish wrapped around it” from Princess Margaret, which he described as a “cold-blooded” gift, according to the book Spare! The Duke of Sussex later revealed that his relationship with Margaret was not so good, saying that he felt “nothing for her except a little pity and jumpiness.”

Despite not being a fan of Margaret's gifts, it is clear that Prince Harry has continued some of the Royal Family's Christmas traditions since moving to Los Angeles.

Of Christmas Eve spent in Montecito with Meghan Markle, Harry wrote in Spare: “I was so excited to see Archie. I watched Archie run around the tree. And opened presents. In keeping with Windsor family tradition.” He continued. 'On Christmas Eve, as usual, the whole family gathered to open presents.' This was a German tradition that continued even after the surname was anglicized from Saxe-Coburg-Gotha to Windsor.

In a recent interview with Christine Contino, senior royal editor of Marie Claire, former royal butler Paul Burrell, representing Spin Genie, revealed, “I once gave [Princess Diana] a pair of Chanel costume jewelry earrings.” . He further explained, “She loved those chunky earrings, so I thought it was a good choice for her.” However, Burrell realized that he should not have given Princess Diana “earrings with an intertwined letter C.”

In a 2018 interview with Harper's Bazaar Australia, designer Jayson Branson admitted that Princess Diana hated the Chanel logo. 'She came out with a number of shoes and bags and threw them all on the couch. Pointing to the Chanel shoes, Brundson explained. “I said, 'This would look great on Versace,' and she said, 'No, I can't wear the linked C, the double C.' So I asked her why, and she said, 'It's Camilla and Charles.'”
