Ahead of the royal wedding, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry asked those keen on giving them a wedding present to donate to any of several charities they picked.
Nevertheless, some people and businesses sent gifts to Kensington Palace anyway, worth about £7 million
Following strict palace guidelines, royal aides are trying to stop companies from using the new Duke and Duchess of Sussex in a bid to get publicity. As a result, they are returning gift sent by business organizations.
The Royal Family cannot accept freebies from businesses or individuals due to protocol. “When gifts are accepted, the consent of the Member of the Royal Family should be contingent upon the enterprise undertaking not to exploit the gift for commercial purposes”
Gifts offered by private individuals living in the UK not personally known to the Member of the Royal Family should be refused where there are concerns about the propriety or motives of the donor or the gift itself.
