Princess Charlotte given present worth staggering £36,000 – but 'forced to hand it back'

While you might expect a royal to be showered with lavish gifts regularly, when Princess Charlotte received an incredibly extravagant present, she was forced to hand it straight back.

Charlotte, who is nine years old and third in line to the throne, was gifted the plush £36,000 item when she was just a newborn baby welcomed into the world by Prince William and Kate Middleton – but due to strict Royal rules, the little one didn't get to fully enjoy the unbelievably pricey gift.

The expensive present came from the Natural Sapphire Company and it's likely one of the most luxurious baby rattles ever made.

According to The Express, the rattle was crafted from 18ct white gold and decorated with diamonds, sapphires, and rubies to form a Union Jack.
