Gifts

Historically, the royal family have been lavished with gifts on their wedding day, ranging from 10 acres of land in Mustique for Princess Margaret, to 2,500 wedding presents for the Queen that included priceless diamonds, 500 tins of pineapple, and a piece of lace spun by Mahatma Gandhi. Charles and Diana received 6,000 gifts, including a glass bowl and ceramic centrepiece from President Ronald Reagan, a carpet, and a silver-plated mousetrap. William and Kate requested charity donations instead of a registering a wedding list, but still received numerous gifts including their dog Lupo from Kate's brother James.
