The "awful" gift from Prince William
There's no doubt that the Prince of Wales picked out something special for Kate this festive season.
But William said that he once got Kate a present she would "never let him forget", with the bizarre gift leaving his wife completely baffled.
Whilst making an appearance on former England striker Peter Crouch’s podcast on BBC Radio Five Live, Wills sheepishly admitted that he previously gave Kate "a pair of binoculars".
After Peter confessed to giving his own wife Abbey Clancy a raincoat for her birthday three years in a row, a chuckling William said: "I did get my wife a pair of binoculars once – she's never let me forget that.
"That was early on in the courtship that was – I think that sealed the deal.
"It didn't go well. Honestly, I have no idea why I bought her a pair of binoculars, it seemed like a good idea at the time."
Royal family's light-hearted gift tradition
It's well known that members of the royal family prefer gifting one another light-hearted joke presents instead of expensive presents at Christmas time.
They also follow some unique traditions which include exchanging presents on Christmas Eve.
Some of the more memorable gifts exchanged over the years have included a bath hat given to the late Queen by her grandson Prince Harry that read: "Ain't life a b*tch".
Meanwhile Kate made a witty quip to her brother-in-law Harry one Christmas when she handed him a "grow-your-own-girlfriend kit" – after he'd made headlines with a string of high-profile romances.
Adorable moments caught on camera
It comes as royal fans spotted the adorable moment Prince George sweetly corrected Prince William as they practised for the Coronation in newly-released scenes.
In a new BBC documentary, the 10-year-old prince joined his parents and siblings at Westminster Abbey and they went through plans for King Charles’s May ceremony.
The fly-on-the-wall doc aired on BBC One on Tuesday (Boxing Day).
Fans also spotted the heartwarming moment an "affectionate" King Charles kisses Prince Louis, five, – after Prince Harry claimed he "never gives hugs".
During the rehearsal, Charles is seen bending over to hug and kiss Prince George and Prince Louis.
Louis is dressed in a blazer and smart shorts for the rehearsal, while Prince George wears a suit.
The King also embraces Princess Charlotte, eight, who curtseys in homage to him and wears a pale blue patterned dress with a white cardigan.
