The Ringmaster Begins

As we know, the royals buy each other gag gifts and trinkets that are all good for a laugh for Christmas. The gifts are then opened on Christmas Eve. Prince Philip, as head of the household, is the ringmaster for this segment of the holiday fun. All gifts are secretly placed on their drawing room’s tables first before one is even opened. At the appropriate time, they all open their presents before one another. It’s all laughter and done in great fun. Of course, the gift-giving means that they have to go gift shopping like everyone else. But then, in more modern times, you can always buy online.
