At Sandringham Estate, the Royal Family combines festivities, observing German customs like exchanging gifts on Christmas Eve.
Despite their distinct heritage, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis still delight in Father Christmas’s christmas day visit. But what do you gift to royals who seem to have everything?
A look at Prince George’s 2017 wish list provides insight, suggesting royal wishes aren’t that different after all. During a 2017 trip to Finland’s Esplanade Park, Prince William handed Santa George’s Christmas list, revealing his simple desire for a toy police car.
A resurfaced photo of this moment has captured the hearts of royal fans reports the Mirror. On social media, fans praised young George’s relatable request.
One fan said: “I like a boy who knows his own mind. And I adore that the future king’s wants are so much like any other child’s,” Another joked: “A dad who knows Santa personally, I wanted that! ” And another responded: “How lovely Prince William was for giving George‘s letter to Father Christmas.”
Prince George’s wish for a police car has revealed he’s treading in the footsteps of his dad, Prince William, who once harboured a different career dream.
Despite his royal birthright, William had toyed with the idea of becoming a policeman, fuelled by a wish to safeguard his late mother, Diana, Princess of Wales. Diana’s biographer, Andrew Morton, recounts a telling exchange between William, his brother Harry, and their mother.

He wrote: “‘When I grow up I want to be a policeman and look after you Mummy,’ said William. Quick as a flash Harry replied, with a note of triumph in his voice, ‘Oh no you can’t, you’ve got to be king’,” Andrew added. Fast forward to recent times, and William disclosed that George has developed a similar interest in the force.
During a reception at Kensington Palace, Police Commissioner Jayne Richardson quipped about the need for more officers, saying: “We are recruiting, actually, so if George and Charlotte are keen? ” William responded with a laugh: “[George] is obsessed, actually, by the police… cars, toys, everything.”
