Quirky and Curious Gifts Received by the Royal Family

8. A Set of Slippers Featuring the Face of the Queen

Given to: Elizabeth II, the queen
Contributed by: Prince William Estimated worth: $15–$20*
The Royal Family enjoys a merry Christmas, as we've already established, and Prince William and Harry have always given their grandmother a serious competition when it comes to funny gifts. A well-known practical joker, Princess Diana once gave Prince Harry fake dog excrement. Paul Burrell, the princess's royal butler, claimed that Diana would "spend hours" looking for "jokey things" to put in her sons' stockings.

While his brother Harry sent the Queen a shower cap with the words "Ain't life a b***h" on it, Prince William gave her a pair of slippers with her face on them. It seems that the two have inherited their mother's fondness for practical joke gifts.
