She has access to the world's most sought after fashion designers and already has a stunning jewellery collection - so what do you buy the Princess of Wales for Christmas ? There's no doubt her husband Prince William will always pick out something special for Princess Kate - and their children Prince George , Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis will have also been on hand to help. But it seems that the Prince of Wales previously struggled in the past when buying gifts for his beloved wife in the early days of their romance. And he once admitted to getting her an awful present that Kate has "never let him forget" after it left her completely baffled.

William revealed the bizarre present during an appearance on former England striker Peter Crouch's podcast on BBC Radio Five Live. In a discussion about presents, Crouch confessed to buying his model wife Abbey Clancy a raincoat three years running for her birthday. And William admitted: "I did get my wife a pair of binoculars once - she's never let me forget that.

That was early on in the courtship that was - I think that sealed the deal. It didn't go well. Honestly, I have no idea why I bought her a pair of binoculars, it seemed like a good idea at the time.
