They are no different than us when receiving strange and bizarre wedding gifts from friends and loved ones.

Now many royal families all across the globe requests to donate instead of sending them gifts and favours. But that cannot stop people from sending royal couple some strange wedding gifts (like some of our own friends). Here are some of the strange wedding gifts received by the royal family.
