Harry and Meghan asked for donations to seven charities instead of gifts – but they still got sent loads of weird and wonderful gifts anyway.
Among the pressies was the honour of two koalas being named after them at Taronga Zoo, near Sydney, with the Australian prime minister giving the couple matching Akubra hats as well.
