A singing stuffed animal isn’t exactly the Christmas gift you’d likely give your future grandmother-in-law, let alone the Queen of England. But that’s exactly what Meghan Markle gave Queen Elizabeth II for her inaugural holiday with The Royals.

Turns out, it’s a tradition for the Royal Family to give each other gag gifts. When you’re wealthy, you likely already have everything you want, right?
