Since her birth, Princess Charlotte has become one of the most loved among the British people, as she is the first and only daughter of Prince William and Kate Middleton. At that time, a renowned brand wanted to have a tender present with her and gift her a garment valued at thousands of dollars, but for the young princess’s luck, she couldn’t keep it due to the rules of the monarchy.
When she was only a baby, Princess Charlotte received a gift from the Natural Sapphire Company, which was a white gold rattle adorned with diamonds, sapphires, and rubies with which the flag of the United Kingdom was formed.
The gift, valued at that time at around $45,000, was given to the princess because the company revealed that when Princess Kate got engaged to Prince William, she wore their iconic blue sapphire ring, which managed to increase sales since all girls at the time wanted this ring. So in order to reward the good publicity they received, they wanted to make a gesture to the royal family.
Although the couple, the Prince and Princess of Wales, appreciate this gift for Princess Charlotte, unfortunately, due to royal protocols, it could not be accepted or preserved by her, as reported by the newspaper Express: “as a general rule, it said, gifts from commercial companies were not accepted“.
