While William had to spend Christmas at Sandringham as part of the Royal Family tradition, he was not expected to attend any set Royal Palace on New Year's Eve, freeing him up in his dating days to spend it with his then-girlfriend Kate Middleton.

Even royals can experience decision fatigue when shopping for Christmas gifts for their loved ones. Prince William is no exception, and revealed that while he and wife Kate Middleton were in the early stages of dating, he landed on an odd gift that he later understood to be a weird choice.

Prince William and Kate Middleton joined the rest of the royal family for their annual Christmas walk in Sandringham on Christmas day, and were accompanied by Prince William's step siblings, Laura Lopes (aka his " secret sister ") and Tom Parker Bowles.
