Queen Elizabeth once got a rude shower cap from Prince Harry for Christmas – plus 4 more gag gifts exchanged between Prince Charles, Princess Diana, Meghan Markle and more

The British royal family might give other holidays like Halloween a miss – on paper, anyway – but when it comes to Christmas, they have plenty of traditions. This includes an annual gift exchange, which is held at the Sandringham Estate on Christmas Eve. But what do you then give someone who already has everything, or can basically afford anything?

Queen Elizabeth, Prince Philip and the rest of the adult members of the royal family apparently have a rule when it comes to their presents for one another – they have to be cheap and cheeky! Read on to find out about the silliest things that they have gifted each other over the years.

The Duke of Sussex has always had a close-knit relationship with his famous granny. Add his wicked sense of humour and the queen ends up receiving a profanity-emblazoned shower cap as a gift. Yup, Prince Harry really did that once upon a Christmas. And, according to royal biographer Brian Hoey, the British monarch loved it and found it very funny.

Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip’s only daughter proved that she also knew a thing or two about humorous gifts when she got her older brother a white leather toilet seat for Christmas. The Prince of Wales reportedly liked the unusual present so that he even decided to take it with him on foreign trips. In the past, Princess Anne also gave Prince Charles’ former wife Diana a good laugh with a toilet paper holder.
