Prince William Confesses To Getting Princess Kate Binoculars As A Gift— And She Wasn't A Fan
"That was early on in the courtship that was— I think that sealed the deal," he added. William went on, "It didn't go well. Honestly, I have no idea why I bought her a pair of binoculars, it seemed like a good idea at the time." The Duke of Cambridge also discussed his love of soccer during the interview.
For even more proof that William might not be the most traditional gift giver, back in February, Princess Kate revealed that she wasn't expecting any elaborate floral arrangements from her husband for Valentine's Day 2023.
While walking around the Leeds Kirkgate Market in Leeds, England earlier this year, Kate stopped by a flower stall where florist Neil Ashcroft spoke with her about his business and presented her with a bouquet.
Referencing the upcoming love-themed holiday, Ashcroft said to Kate, “No doubt William will be buying you some red roses.” According to Ashcroft, the mom of three replied, "I don’t think he will."
