Prince Harry has recently shared a quirky anecdote regarding a rather unconventional birthday gift he received from his late aunt, Princess Margaret.

As the Duke of Sussex marked his 40th birthday, he took a moment to reflect on this peculiar present, which has sparked curiosity and conversation among royal watchers and fans alike.

In his memoir, “Spare,” which hit the shelves earlier this year, Harry described the gift as a small biro pen adorned with a tiny rubber fish.

He recounted the moment with a hint of humor, noting how Princess Margaret emphasized that it was no ordinary pen.

“Oh, a fish biro,” he recalled saying to himself, adding, “that is cold-blooded.” This unexpected revelation has certainly raised eyebrows at Buckingham Palace, leading many to ponder the underlying motives behind such an unusual choice.

Speculation is rife surrounding the intent of Princess Margaret’s gift.

Some observers suggest it might have been a cheeky dig at Harry’s position as the “Spare” to the heir, Prince William.

Others propose that it reflects the Duke’s own eccentricities, which have often set him apart from the rest of the royal family.

No matter the reasoning, the gift has undeniably left a lasting impression on Harry, illustrating the complex dynamics within the royal fold.

Harry’s memoir goes beyond just this odd gift, drawing intriguing parallels between his relationship with his brother and the fierce rivalry that existed between Princess Margaret and her sister, Queen Elizabeth II.

He even likened his late mother, Princess Diana, to the rebellious Princess Margaret, highlighting their shared qualities as captivating figures within the royal hierarchy.

The timing of this revelation is particularly poignant, given the current tensions between Harry and the royal family.

After stepping down as a working royal, Harry’s candid interviews have further strained his relationships with his father, King Charles, and his brother, Prince William.
