People from every corner of the globe send thousands of presents to the little royals every Christmas. However, not all of these gifts make their way under the tree.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are, understandably, cautious of spoiling their children, the Daily Mail reports.
Most of the gifts are given to charity or donated to appropriate organisations, but a select few are brought home for George and Charlotte to unwrap.

Others are stored within the Royal Household, a Kensington Palace spokesperson told the Daily Mail. They said that the Royal Family is humbled by the generosity of their fans.
The family normally opens presents on Christmas Eve with the Queen and other relatives, which is an old German tradition. And this year they'll be joined by their aunt-to-be, Meghan Markle!

We are fairly certain 4-year-old George will end up getting what he wants for Christmas because he only listed one thing in his letter to Santa: a police car.
According to Us Weekly, the palace staff usually pool their resources to buy a few things for the tots, too.
How cute! And we are happy to hear that those thousands of presents are given to those in need.
