Queen's £30,000 Christmas cheer: The staggering amount monarch spends on 620 gifts for family and staff and 750 Christmas cards, former aide reveals
- Aide says Queen used to enjoy personal shopping session at Buckingham Palace
- But now 'gifts worth £30,000' are bought online by private secretary’s office
- Queen sends cards to family, friends, staff, and British Commonwealth delegates
- 1,500 Christmas puddings, paid for through the Privy purse, are given to staff
Christmas is an expensive time for most people, including even the Queen it seems as she spends a staggering '£30,000 on 620 gifts for family and staff', a former aide claims.
Her Majesty, 93, also sends 750 Christmas cards - which will usually feature a family photo - to relatives, friends, members of the Royal Household, and various British Commonwealth delegates.
Speaking to Fabulous Digital, the source explained that up to two weeks before December 25, staff are told to go to one of the state rooms at Buckingham Palace to receive their presents from the Queen.

They said: 'Here they line up to receive a wrapped gift from the Queen, and she says a few words to each of them - usually something like "Thank you so much for all your help during the year", followed by Happy Christmas.
'The presents are usually a book token, or a small piece of china from the palace gift shop, and most years she gives them a small Christmas pudding in a box as well.'

If staff are unable to leave their duties on the specified days then the Household sends the presents to them along with a card from the monarch - which is signed by the Queen and Prince Philip.
A whopping 1,500 Christmas puddings, paid for through the Privy purse, are given to palace workers, staff in the Court Post Office and Palace police, according to the royal's website.

It was a tradition first started by the Queen's grandfather, King George V, and continued by her father King George VI.
The aide also claimed that the Queen used to enjoy a personal shopping session at Buckingham Palace before Christmas, but now the gifts are all chosen online by the monarch's private secretary’s office.
Chosen stores - such as Harrods and Fortnum & Mason - would send 'van loads of stuff to her look at', which would be displayed on tables across two rooms at the palace.
'It was like her very own royal shopping mall. But it’s not done now, it’s one of those things that she doesn’t really need to expend her energy on as she gets older,' the former aide claimed.
Meanwhile, the Duke of Edinburgh sends a further 200 cards at Christmas to different regiments and organisations close to him.

Buckingham Palace was contacted for comment by MailOnline and noted that Christmas gift details can be found on the Royal Household website.
They wouldn't give any further guidance.
The revelations come after Sandringham: The Queen at Christmas, which aired this week on Channel 5, claimed that the royal family compete to buy one another the tackiest, silliest gifts over the festive period.
At 6pm precisely on Christmas Eve, the royals are called into Sandringham's drawing room, where they have a 'holy evening' of gift giving and view the gifts as the 'jokier the better', the documentary revealed.
Over the years, the Queen has received a 'Big Mouth Billie Bass' the comical singing fish that hangs on walls, as well as a washing up apron as gifts from her family.

And we can be sure that
this comedown won’t humble him. A man who has spent his entire life shouting
at servants and consorting with sheikhs, oligarchs, and other sleazy characters
is unlikely to suddenly “cease to behave like an apex git.”

United Kingdom: Prince Andrew to be hidden away
The queen’s favorite son is
now barred from public duties.
Prince Andrew has been, to use a new verb, “de-royaled,” said
Jamie Doward in The Observer. The queen’s second son was barred from all
public duties last week following his car-crash interview with the BBC, in
which he attempted to defend his friendship with convicted sex offender
Jeffrey Epstein. Revealing himself to be “arrogant, aloof, and
slow-witted,” the 59-year-old prince expressed zero sympathy for the underage
girls Epstein kept as sex toys. Andrew claimed lamely that he had no recollection
of Virginia Roberts Giuffre, the American who says she was pimped out to
the prince at age 17. And he had no good explanation for the four days he
spent partying at the financier’s Manhattan home in 2010, two years after
Epstein was convicted of soliciting a minor for prostitution. As soon
as the interview aired, charities and businesses began racing to sever
their ties with the prince. An overnight pariah, Andrew has now been stripped
of all royal duties. His personal royal flag no longer flies above the palatial
home in Windsor Great Park, and the queen has even canceled the big 60th
birthday bash she was to hold for him next February.

It was
Prince Charles, Andrew’s older brother, who ordered this banishment, said
Simon Heffer in The Daily Telegraph.
The
Prince of Wales, 71, is preparing to take over from Queen Elizabeth II,
93, and he knows the succession will be a “moment of great vulnerability
for the monarchy.” The palace wants the whole nation to “pull together behind
the new king,” but Andrew’s misjudgments have put the enterprise at risk.
Alarm bells went off at Buckingham Palace last week when, during a televised
leadership debate ahead of the Dec. 12 general election, a questioner
asked if the House of Windsor was still “fit for purpose.” Charles, who was
in New Zealand, quickly phoned his mother and insisted her reputed favorite
child be drummed out for the good of the Crown. “The queen agreed.”

Let’s not
call this a punishment, said Camilla Long in The Times. Andrew has been relieved
of the most tedious aspects of royal life—“no more opening hospitals or
touring denture factories”—and will continue being pampered at Mummy’s
expense. And we can be sure that this comedown won’t humble him. A man
who has spent his entire life shouting at servants and consorting with
sheikhs, oligarchs, and other sleazy characters is unlikely to suddenly
“cease to behave like an apex git.” That’s why the royal family has to be
restructured, said Gaby Hinsliff in The Guardian. Prince Charles is said to
favor “a slimmed-down future monarchy, focused on himself, his wife, and
his sons.” What exactly will happen to the dozens of minor royals isn’t
clear—it’s difficult to see Andrew “succeeding in the working world
strictly on his own merits.” Yet something has to change for this tarnished
institution to survive. “If the monarchy cannot put its house in order,
it should not be surprised if the nation ultimately seeks to do it for
them.”
