King Charles 'replaces' Prince Harry as 'Royal Family joker' for Christmas tradition

ok.co.uk:

Gift-giving can be a tricky business when your loved ones already have priceless jewels, designer outfits and luxury cars. So, instead of splashing out on lavish, extravagant items, members of the Royal Family prefer to keep their seasonal gifting light-hearted.

In fact, the more humorous or ridiculous the gift, the better. "It's a long-running tradition for the family to exchange joke gifts at Christmas, so there's always a lot of laughter at Sandringham," royal commentator Duncan Larcombe previously told OK! "In the past, Prince Harry used to be the biggest joker, but now I imagine it's Charles, who has a very strong sense of humour." Over the years, the gag gifts have reportedly included a leather toilet seat from Princess Anne to her older brother King Charles, while Kate is rumoured to have cheekily gifted Harry a "grow your own girlfriend kit".

Harry, on the other hand, is said to have given the late Queen a shower cap emblazoned with "Ain't life a b****". "Sometimes we imagine the royals are all very serious, but they like a good giggle like most families," says Duncan. "Charles once said having a sense of humour is what keeps him sane, and so sharing joke presents helps lighten the atmosphere when things can otherwise be quite formal." "I think the King will definitely be the one playing pranks and messing about with the grandchildren at Christmas.

And you can imagine that Princess Anne is a bit like the naughty auntie, with everyone wondering what she might say or do next!" The Royal Family's Christmas gift-giving tradition is a bit bonkers, spanning generations.
