Even the royal family enjoys the holidays – maybe even a little too much.
The late Princess Diana’s spirit can live to celebrate Christmas through Prince William’s bad habit he learned from his mother – opening Christmas presents early.
In a 1990 letter to a friend, Diana admitted that “a package in any shape or form has never been safe with me.”
In addition, she said that William, now 38, was following in his footsteps.

The Christmas holiday was special for young princes, the latter explained.
“The boys are thrilled by the prospect of Christmas on the horizon and have been looking from top to bottom for any packages that may be coming their way!” Diana wrote.

The vehicle reports that the royal family usually spends Christmas Eve exchanging cheap gifts with each other, something Diana apparently did not know in 1981.
The newlywed gave his sister-in-law, Princess Anne, an expensive cashmere sweater, while the princess gave Diana a toilet paper cover. Diana finally got it, however, once she put fake dog poop in Harry’s sock.

Christmas looks a little different for the royal family this year, as they will not be meeting at Sandringham Estate, according to People. They will celebrate separately because of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
