In a surprising turn, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Harry and Meghan, find themselves compelled to give up a plethora of presents received on their extravagant wedding day.
Despite the overwhelming generosity from well-wishers, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have had to return all the gifts they received during their lavish wedding ceremony. The reported value of these returned presents amounts to an astonishing £7 million (approximately $9 million).
The royal couple tied the knot in May 2018 at St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle, a ceremony attended by A-listers such as George Clooney, Victoria and David Beckham, Serena Williams, and Oprah Winfrey. Despite the couple's preference for charitable donations over traditional wedding gifts, admirers inundated them with presents.
Despite the public's attempts to hand-deliver gifts during the celebration at Windsor Castle, the couple was unable to retain any of the offerings, resulting in their return, as reported by The Mirror.
The stringent royal protocol, guided by safety considerations, dictated that many heartfelt gifts from fans worldwide had to be sent back, preventing Harry and Meghan from keeping them.
As per reports, members of the royal family are strictly forbidden from accepting gifts directly from the public in person.
