It is the second time Brown met Prince Harry, the first time was at Royal Ascot in 2014.

Fans showered them with several gifts since their arrival in Australia, however, the royal family has a strict gift policy, with one of two things that can happen. Provided its monetary value is less than £150, they can be accepted and used or they can be kept in storage for up to five years.

Curators of this collection can either incorporate it into their displays or donate it to an organization or charity, however, it can also be destroyed or thrown out. Hopefully, most of the cute presents for the baby falls under the latter.
