Meghan Markle’s first royal gift

Meghan Markle received an apron as her first official royal gift.
The former ‘Suits’ star – who is to marry Prince Harry on May 19 – was given the clothing item by a fan in Finland who had handed it to Prince William to pass on to his future sister-in-law.
According to the annual royal Gift Lists, published this week, The Duke of Cambridge was on a solo visit to the country when he received the gift "on behalf of HRH Prince Henry of Wales and Ms Meghan Markle", and it was presented by an "individual".
Other details about the apron are not known but it marks the first time Meghan has appeared on the audit.
Despite only being mentioned once, there are a number of gifts which she could make use of which were given to her future husband.
Harry received several his ‘n’ hers presents from a well-wisher while he was in Toronto for the Invictus Games in September, including two ice hockey pucks and leather passport holders.
The entry states he was presented with: "Two jackets, two leather holdall bags, two leather belt-bags, two leather zipped pouches, two leather passport holders, four leather wristbands, two ice hockey pucks, two baseball caps, two t-shirts and two sports polo shirts."
William and Duchess Catherine’s kids, Prince George, four, and two-year-old Princess Charlotte, also did well out of a foreign visit when they received a whopping 59 gifts between them during their week-long visit to Poland and Germany.
The items included 17 soft toys, a dreamcatcher, there dresses and three toy trains.
Their mother was given a variety of presents over the year, including an oven glove, a cycling jersey and a hamper of local produce, while William was handed five Tintin figurines, framed photographs and two fabric gnomes.
Official royal gifts are allowed to be worn and used but the Royal Family do not pay tax on them, and the items are not considered to be their personal property.
What’s more, perishable gifts with a value of less than £150 can be given to charity or staff.
