What is the "strange" Christmas tradition?
For some people, Christmas traditions may seem unusual, even to Kate herself, who says it is a strange habit and her opinion disrupts a practice that is almost two centuries old.
According to the Daily Beast, the tradition of exchanging gifts on Christmas Eve instead of Christmas Day seems quite strange to them. This tradition, which has German roots, was established during the reign of Queen Victoria.
Tradition since Queen Victoria
Queen Victoria, who reigned from 1837 to 1901, along with Prince Albert, were instrumental in incorporating the now iconic Christmas tree into British celebrations, a nod to their German heritage.
Since Queen Victoria, the exchange of gifts has taken place on Christmas Eve and it is a tradition that Queen Elizabeth II has maintained, as for her the main meaning of Christmas comes from the Church.
Princess Kate no longer wants to be part of the tradition
The information states that Kate is interested in leaving behind the traditional Christmas Eve gift exchange of the Royal Family to celebrate Christmas Day in a more British way.
A source revealed to the Daily Beast: "Kate has always found Christmas Eve gifts weird. They will definitely get rid of them once things become official."
