Prince Harry and Meghan Markle recently visited Nigeria and when they returned to the US this week, they brought with them a number of gifts, including works of art (paintings), clothes, jewelry…
This caused many netizens, especially fans of the British Royal Family, to question why Harry was allowed to receive gifts like that.
According to the official regulations of the British Royal Family, members of the Royal Family are not allowed to accept gifts from government agencies, trade associations, civil bodies,
charities or similar organizations, from people who don’t really know members of the Royal Family…
In general, Royal members are almost not allowed to receive any gifts from others, except in a few cases when the gifts are flowers,
books or food, if the value is less than 200 USD (about 5 million VND). Vietnamese, or 150 British pounds).
The British Royal Family also keeps careful records of all official gifts given to them.
During the trip to Nigeria, Harry and Meghan received more than 20 gifts, according to The Sun and New York Post. The gift includes 2 paintings – one painting Harry and Princess Diana and one painting Harry and Meghan, some costumes, earrings, necklaces made of wooden beads, a large mirror with a picture of them and their husband…
In fact, the strict rules on gifts mentioned above only apply to working members of the British Royal Family, so it is true that Harry will not be allowed to receive gifts if he is still in the Royal Family.
For example, Prince William and Princess Kate are almost not allowed to receive any gifts. Now, even though Harry is still a Prince, he no longer works for the British Royal Family, so he is allowed to receive and keep the gifts, not that he and his wife are breaking the rules.
