Prince Harry recalls 'cold-blooded' Christmas gift at Sandringham

In recent years, Prince Harry has spent Christmas away from the British royal family, celebrating with wife Meghan Markle in North America. Despite his absence from the royal celebrations, Harry reflects on his past experiences, particularly one memorable Christmas at Sandringham Estate. In his memoir Spare, he recalls receiving an unexpected gift from his great-aunt, Princess Margaret. Harry described the present, a tiny biro adorned with a rubber fish, as a 'cold-blooded' gift that left him confused at the time. Although he did not know Princess Margaret well, he felt a connection, believing both of them were 'Two Spares' in the royal hierarchy, sharing similar rebellious traits. His relationship with his brother Prince William has also become strained over the years, largely due to differences surrounding Meghan's entrance into the family. The tensions were later exacerbated by revelations made in Harry's memoir and his public claims against William, highlighting deep family rifts since their younger days. These family dynamics reflect not only personal grievances but also the complicated legacy of the British monarchy and the roles each member plays within it.
