In the early days of their courtship, Prince William once gave girlfriend Kate Middleton a gift so ‘awful’ that she’s ‘never let me forget that.’

Prince William reminisced about an amusing gift he gave to Kate Middleton early in their relationship: binoculars. The prince revealed that this unusual present has since been a humorous reminder between them.

Christmas shopping for a princess certainly sounds like a daunting task, and it even took Prince William a while to get used to it.
