Everyone, please.
Light a candle for Prince George, his little sister Princess Charlotte and to a lesser extent Prince Louis who probably doesn’t even know what day it is – because this Christmas Day they shan’t be opening any presents.
Not even one.
But before anyone goes calling the authorities, you should probably know that by Christmas morning they’ll likely already be sick of their toys, because they opened them the night before.
Yes. The royals are one of those families who gather around on Christmas Eve and exchange gifts calmly and respectfully.
“The royals are of German descent so they weave in German traditions to their celebrations,” Darren McGrady, a former chef for the royals, told the Express.
“After afternoon tea, they open gifts on Christmas Eve, as is the German tradition.”

"The gifts are, according to The Telegraph UK, “cheap and humorous”, which sounds like the kind of gift NO FIVE-YEAR-OLD WANTS. GIVE HIM A TRAIN SET FOR GOODNESS SAKE."
Yes, five-year-olds hate humour! They're well-known for their aversion to anything funny.
Look, I teach five-year-olds. They love cheap, silly crap. Slime, squishy deco food and some kind of new Beanie Baby-type thing are big with the kids I teach at the moment.
Give a 5 year old a Whoopie Cushion and see how much he hates it!
Sounds kind of fun to me. Didn’t Harry give the Queen a shower cap with an amusing slogan on it? We’d criticise if they all sat around and gave each other expensive jewellery and fancy cars, so how about we just let them celebrate however they choose without being snotty about it.
Yeah, they give each other super cheap joke gifts. I'm pretty sure I've read that here a few times now.
