Would you have got the Royal children a gift.

If I had been at Sandringham I would not have given the Royal children a gift as they get a lot of gifts anyway. Really they should have taken tubs of sweets and offered them to local children. That way they would have been polite.

No one here seems to have any evidence of the gifts being donated.

They won't be! Everything will get binned. There is no way they will be passed on or donated to sick kids or care homes etc. too many nut jobs around.

I don't have a problem with the RF but I wouldn't ever camp overnight to catch a glimpse of them at Christmas. I suppose if you're alone at Christmas it could be something to do.

I would love to know if anyone here has done it or knows anyone who has?

I used to think nobody who loved the Royals that much would harm them, so they are probably safe, but these people are so clearly mentally unwell you never know- Munchausens by proxy, attention seeking behaviour (Oh I gave some chocolates to Louis. I bet I made him ill! Oh woe is me! ) wanting some Royal drama and being involved in the drama in some way. Not to mention the Diana fetishists. Who knows what they are trying to get onto her grandchildren!
I can believe in the old days bouquets given to The Queen were donated to the local hospital but now its too risky and a waste of time to get everything checked so I bet it all goes straight in the bin. Another reason why the apparent environmentalist William should put a stop to it instead of the Palace allowing the Fiction that this stuff gets donated to stand with no evidence. His familys carbon footprint is high enough as it is without encouraging other people to add to it!

I think that I read that flowers went to the local nursing home?

What kid wants flowers anyway.

No I wouldn't have gotten them a gift but neither would I have stood out to watch them go to church.

There should be a rule that the children don't have to hug strangers. There is a video of a woman with her arms out to Charlotte and she gives her a hug. All the comments are nonsensical "so caring, just like her grandmother Diana" ones. Em, no, young child doesn't know she can refuse a hug from random creepy stranger and neither her parents or security helped her.

This! In all the time we are teaching our children that they don’t have to hug good bye and can say it or wave or shake hands and have body autonomy to save them, these kids are taught to overrule that and it’s absolutely bizarre. For someone who’s mother says she is pro early years she is not protecting her kids
