When they went to the Solomon Islands, William and Catherine received presents that ranged from a woven mat to a carved club.

William's brother Prince Harry has also been handed interesting items while on tour.

While spending time in Brazil, the party-loving prince was also gifted a personalised number plate reading HARRY. When he was in Jamaica, the red-haired royal received rum, a mask and books, among other things.

The Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall have received gifts ranging from CDs to a bottle of wine.
