Princess Diana Once Gave Charles A Christmas 'Gift' That He Absolutely Hated

When you're a member of the Royal Family, Christmas gifts aren't just important; they literally become the talk of every media outlet in the world. Over the years, royal gifts have taken on a somewhat corny tone to quell the stress of the holidays. However, one year Princess Diana gave her hubby something that warranted a reaction no one saw coming — especially her.

Gifts are a big deal

Gift-giving in the Royal Family is a pretty big deal; they are the most famous family on the planet, after all. However, in recent years, presents have taken on a humorous tone as opposed to a heartfelt one.

Gag gifts are somewhat new

For example, Queen Elizabeth II was gifted a shower cap that read "ain't life a b****" one year, while Prince Harry made off with a "grow your own girlfriend" kit. Gag gifts, however, weren't always the name of the game.

Diana's splendid gifts

Sure, the occasional jokey present was passed around, but one member who always tried to give her husband something near and dear to the heart was Princess Diana, and she usually hit it out of the park.

One lucky recipient

Prince Charles was the lucky recipient of many of Diana's gifts over the years, and like any grateful husband, he opened them up with a smile on his face and love in his heart — for a while.
