WHEN your husband is the heir to the throne, you might expect a little more than a bunch of flowers at your birthday service.
And Prince William has certainly delivered the goods for Kate Middleton over the years – including a staggering £121,000 jewelery set for her birthday.

The Princess of Wales stepped out to support the London 2012 Olympics and sparkled in an Olympic Cartier set, estimated to be worth six figures.
The stunning set is thought to have been given to Kate as a 30th birthday present, although this has not been confirmed.
The 18 carat chain features pavé diamonds as well as three interlocking circles of rose, yellow and white gold.
Although this gift must have gone down well, Kate was not happy to accept all of William’s gifts.
The heir has revealed the “awful” gift he bought his wife and “she will never let him forget it”.
Appearing on former England striker Peter Crouch’s podcast on BBC Radio Five Live, Wills coyly admitted he had given Kate “the binoculars” beforehand.
After Peter admitted he had given his wife Abbey Clancy a raincoat for her birthday three years in a row, a smiling William said: “I gave my wife a pair of binoculars once – she never let me forget it.
“That was at the beginning of the courtship and I think that sealed the deal.
“It didn’t go well. I honestly have no idea why I bought her binoculars, it seemed like a good idea at the time.”
One gift Kate liked from William was discovered during the royal tour of Canada.
Kate was seen wearing a fine £4,850 Ballon Bleu de Cartier watch, thought to have been a gift for their third wedding anniversary.
Meanwhile, in 2022, Kate wore a pair of £100 earrings that were a Christmas present from Prince William.
The gold-plated baubles, with intricate coin-style designs and dangling jewels, are from high street brand Sezane – which Kate is known to love.
It is known that members of the royal family prefer to present each other with light-hearted jokes at Christmas time rather than expensive gifts.
Some of the more memorable gifts exchanged over the years include a swimming hat given to the late Queen by her grandson Prince Harry which read: “Ain’t life ab*tch”.
