Meghan Markle could land herself in trouble if she turns up at Sandringham today with any ‘serious’ Christmas gifts royal expert reveals
The Royals only exchange jokey pressies - so Meghan better have put away her credit card
A ROYAL expert has warned Meghan will be in "big trouble" if she turns up at Sandringham House today with any serious gifts for the Royal Family.
Expert Martin Townsend told Australian news site that jokey gifts are a must for The Firm.
He said: "They have present giving and they are not allowed to give serious gifts.
"Any suggestion that Meghan will give away cashmere jumpers or anything like that – if she makes that mistake she’s in big trouble.
"Everyone has to give away jokey little presents. That’s the rules. There’s a lot to remember for her."
There are rumours that Prince Harry previously gave the Queen a shower cap with the words 'Ain't life a b****' emblazoned on it.
And Kate Middleton reportedly gave Harry a 'grow-your-own-girlfriend' kit.
Previously she gave the Queen some homemade chutney.
Speaking in a documentary to mark Her Majesty's 90th, she said: "I can remember being at Sandringham for the first time, at Christmas.
“And I was worried what to give the Queen as her Christmas present.
“I was thinking, ‘Gosh, what should I give her?’ I thought, ‘I’ll make her something,’ which could have gone horribly wrong.
“But I decided to make my granny's recipe of chutney. I was slightly worried about it but I noticed the next day that it was on the table.”
