But there are strict rules surrounding what the couple can be sent and many companies gave them presents to promote their wares and get their publicity.

Essentially, plenty of people could be looking to exploit the royals and profit from it.

The same article suggests William and Kate have returned more than £30million worth of free gifts, many centred around the births of their three children.

What was the Queen's present to the couple?
