She told OK!: “The long table set out with a white cloth, white name cards and mounds of presents in front of each name.
“Then it’s suddenly a free-for-all all with everyone tearing open their gifts, which are usually chosen to amuse rather than impress. Singing fish, whoopee cushions, the dafter the better.”
But she claimed the Prince and Princess of Wales may exchange special gifts this year.
She explained: “Traditionally the adults give one another fairly daft presents. But I bet William and Kate will want to treat each other to something quite special after such a busy and successful year.”
Commenting on what the royal couple might gift their children this year, the royal expert added: “I think William and Kate are very keen to keep their children’s feet on the ground, so not spoil them too much at Christmas.
“But what parent can resist it, if the money is available? So I expect there will be some pretty cool boys’ toys for George and Louis, and something girlie for Charlotte.
“The gifts will probably be chosen to entertain them outside in the fresh air, rather than keep them glued to a screen.”
