Despite their lavish garbs, members of the royal family are known to give modest presents for Christmas.
"Most of them were decorated with the Prince of Wales feathers on them. For the first few years that I worked at Highgrove, we also got a Christmas pudding from the King," Jack Stooks said.

"When the King got around to doing his Christmas cards, we all got a hand-signed Christmas card as well from himself and Camilla," Jack Stooks continued.
