"Usually, Kate and William avoid spoiling the children too much, but they make an exception at Christmas," said an anonymous source in the columns of
Us Weekly
on Monday, December 27. The American magazine thus revealed the contents of the gifts discovered by the Cambridges at the foot of the tree. Presents that Prince George, 8, Princess Charlotte, 6, and Prince Louis, 3, would have hastened to open at 5 a.m. on December 25.
The two boys were notably offered equipment intended for the practice of outdoor activities.
The elder Cambridge received a camping kit, complete with a tent, a flashlight and walkie-talkies.
The youngest, for his part, discovered a climbing wall among his presents.
Princess Charlotte, meanwhile, had a small children's camera.
The trio would have also discovered various games and books under the Christmas tree.

The parents of the three children indeed wanted to make these festivities memorable. "After a busy year, William wanted this Christmas to be very special for Kate, and surprised her by giving her a beautiful bracelet," continued the anonymous witness. If it is not known what gift the Duchess of Cambridge gave her husband, the latter would have prepared a traditional lunch for him, consisting of "turkey, stuffing, sausage rolls, ham, roasted potatoes and other garnishes", crackers, as well as a chocolate yule log, apple pie, and a gingerbread house, covered with kids' favorite candies.
Kate Middleton would also have "used her creative talents to decorate the table with candles and branches of conifers", as specified by the anonymous source.
The Cambridges would also have had fun with confetti and paper crowns.
Forced to spend Christmas without Elizabeth II, as they traditionally do in Sandringham, they would however have spoken with the Sovereign and Prince Charles on Zoom, to the delight of George, Charlotte and Louis.
