Britain's Prince George will receive a £4,650 rocking Zebra for Christmas.
The 17-month-old son of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge is being given the toy by his grandparents, the Duchess' mother and father, Carole and Michael Middleton, reports the Daily Mail newspaper.
The rocking chair, which is covered in zebra stripes and built by Kent-based company Stevenson Brothers, is said to have been at the top of the young Prince's Christmas list.
A source close to the family said: "A rocking horse has been on the Christmas list for some time."
George is spending the festive period at Amner Hall, part of his grandmother Queen Elizabeth II's Sandringham estate in Norfolk, with his parents and will join the 88-year-old monarch and his grandfather Prince Philip for Christmas lunch at their residence on Christmas day.
The royal tot is also set to unwrap a toy car, a deluxe railway set and an illustrated book entitled 'Happy Hooves Oh! Oh! Oh!' by Anna bogie.

Spain's Princess Cristina will stand trial for tax fraud.
The 49-year-old royal - who has been accused of tax evasion and money laundering offences along with her husband Inaki Urdangarin, 46, and 17 other people at the firm Aizoon which she co-owns - will appear in court in Majorca to face the charges, reports the Express newspaper.
Princess Cristina, King Felipe VI's sister, could face up to four years in jail if she is found guilty along with her husband, who has also been charged with embezzling public funds, fraud, breach of legal duty, influence-peddling and money-laundering after allegedly using his Duke of Palma title to embezzle millions of euros through non-profit charity, the Noos Foundation.
The couple - who have four children Juan, 15, Pablo, 14, Miguel, 12, and Irene, nine - have denied all the charges.
They have also been ordered to pay over €17 million to cover possible liabilities - €15 million for Inaki and €2.6million for Princess Cristina - and have 20 days to come up with the money.
According to the court ruling, if the couple fail to come up with the money they will have their assets seized.
At first, the sixth-in-line to the Spanish throne was only called in to court to give evidence in the case until the investigating judge, Jose Castro, decided she should be tried alongside her husband and other suspects.
Princess Cristina also tried to appeal against the embezzlement charges that had been brought against her.
Her lawyer Miquel Roca said at the time: "It is not a problem of optimism or pessimism, it is a question of absolute conviction of the innocence of our client."

Britain's Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will spend Christmas with a ghost.
The royal couple have been warned they may be welcoming an unlikely guest at their Amner Hall residence in Norfolk - where they have opted to spend the festive period with their 17-month-old son Prince George - after a spectre was reportedly spotted in the property's grounds.
The ghost is believed to be that of St Henry Walpole, who lived at the house, which is part of Queen Elizabeth II's Sandringham estate, in his childhood in the late 1500s and was hung, drawn and quartered aged 37 for his Catholic beliefs.
However, the Duke and Duchess, both 32, are happy to share their home with the spirit.
A source told the Express newspaper: "They were warned about it before they moved in and had a joke about it but their attitude was: No old home would be complete without its ghost."
Amner Hall isn't the only royal residence to come complete with its own phantom.
Chairman of the Ghost Club, Alan Murdie, explained: "There are a number of royal-related ghosts.
"For example, Buckingham Palace is a relatively new building but it stands on monastic land.
"Henry VIII did away with the monasteries and to this day at the palace, the ghost of a monk appears on the terrace on Christmas Day.
"Maybe that is the reason the royals prefer to spend the festive season at Sandringham."

The Dutch royal family are spending Christmas in Argentina. King Willem-Alexander and his wife Queen Maxima have flown from the Netherlands along with their three daughters Catherina-Amalia, Ariane and Alexia to enjoy the festive season in South Ameri...

Britain's Prince Charles has been branded "elitist" after writing a guide for architects.
The 66-year-old royal - who recently issued a plea to town planners to reclaim Britain's streets "from the car" and change unsightly road signs and tower blocks - has been criticised by architectural experts and even described as "socially regressive".
Professor Alister Scott of Birmingham City University said of the plans - which included a ten point list of principles dictating the importance of "coherence" in designs - to The Independent newspaper: "The combined impact of these principles, when backed up with the examples he uses, is socially regressive and elitist."
He added of the Prince's plans to shun tower blocks in favour of the pricey mansion builds in the London borough of Kensington and Chelsea: "When he considers the 'charm and beauty of a place like Kensington and Chelsea' he sort of forgets that the average price of property is £2,085,950."
However, his plans for reform did attract some support from Swedish architect Fredrik Hellberg, who said: "Hats off for anyone who speaks up, no matter what they are saying."
While Randy Nishimura of the American Institute of Architects added: "I believe he sees the big picture while his critics do not."
Charles published his 2,000-word plea in the The Architectural Review, in which he also raised concerns about the future of the planet and the "terrifying prospect" of the growing population.
He wrote: "My concern is the future. We face the terrifying prospect by 2050 of another three billion people on this planet needing to be housed, and architects and urban designers have an enormous role to play in responding to this challenge."

Britain's Duchess of York and Prince Andrew enjoyed a "royal shindig" over the weekend.
The 55-year-old royal was joined by her ex-husband, 54, and their 26-year-old daughter Princess Beatrice at the Fox and Hounds pub in Englefield Green, Surrey, where the family enjoyed watching a live band and partying with friends.
A source said: "No one was expecting royalty to drop in but it was just an incredible night."
The Duchess - née Sarah Ferguson - seemed in high spirits as she chatted to pals in a short Santa dress, novelty hat and suede knee high boots, and sang along with Prince Andrew to the band.
A source added the she looked "fantastic" in the get up after recently losing close to 42lbs.
They said: "Fergie looked fantastic and it was obvious she has a new-found confidence.
"Andrew and Fergie were singing along to the entertainment and they were dancing to the music.
"It was a real royal shindig."
Princess Beatrice also dressed up for the occasion in a Christmas pudding outfit, reports the Mirror newspaper.
Prince Andrew and the Duchess of York - who also have a 24-year-old daughter, Princess Eugenie - divorced in 1996 but have remained close friends ever since.

Britain's Prince Charles has made a plea to architects to reclaim streets "from the car".
The 66-year-old royal - who is first in line to the throne - has urged town planners to put pedestrians "at the centre" when designing Britain's street in the future.
The Prince made the plea in a 2,000 word essay in which he expressed his concern about the future of the planet and the "terrifying prospect" of the growing population.
He wrote in The Architectural Review: "I have lost count of the times that I have been accused of wanting to turn the clock back to some Golden Age. Nothing could be further from the truth.
"My concern is the future. We face the terrifying prospect by 2050 of another three billion people on this planet needing to be housed, and architects and urban designers have an enormous role to play in responding to this challenge.
"We have to work out how we will create resilient, truly sustainable and human-scale urban environments that are land efficient, use low carbon materials and do not depend so completely on the car."
Charles' "masterplan" also called for a number of principles for urban design to be put into action.
These include the removal or replacement of certain road signs and the introduction of bends or squares that "naturally" encourage motorists to reduce their speed.

Britain's Queen Elizabeth II continued her Christmas celebrations by attending a church service in Sandringham. The 88-year-old monarch arrived at St Mary Magdalene Church, which lies to the north west of the royal family's grand Sandringham estate, b...

Sweden's Princess Madeleine has made her first public outing following the announcement she is expecting her second child.
The 32-year-old royal - who gave birth to her daughter, Princess Leonore, Duchess of Gotland, with her husband Christopher O'Neill on February 20 this year, is already expecting another baby the family confirmed on Friday (19.12.14).

A statement on the family's official Facebook page said: "Princess Madeleine and Mr. Christopher O'Neill are delighted to announce that The Princess is expecting their second child."
