Prince William once bought a surprising present for Kate that ‘didn’t go down well’ and he has ‘no idea’ why he thought she’d like it.
Gift-giving can be a tricky business and if you’re a member of the Royal Family, creativity is particularly called for at Christmas when it’s understood that the theme for presents is affordable or amusing. The Princess of Wales famously gave the late Queen Elizabeth a jar of homemade chutney during her first Christmas spent at Sandringham. When it comes to presents exchanged between couples, jewellery is often a popular choice and Prince William reportedly gave her the stunning Sézane earrings she wore on Christmas Day in 2022. However, he hasn’t always hit the nail on the head when it comes to buying Kate presents.
During his appearance on footballer Peter Crouch’s podcast, the Prince of Wales revealed Kate’s disastrous gift from him that he’ll “never” be allowed to forget. In his defence, it was “early on” in their romance and Prince William has a sense of humour about his mistake.
