Princess Charlotte may have only just reached her first birthday but it appears that the one-year-old may have already developed expensive taste.
Over the past year Prince George's little sister has been lavished with gifts and letters from 64 countries around the world, from Armenia to Zambia.
The youngest member of the royal family has received tokens from well-wishers across the world, including blankets, clothes, cards, books, toys and hand-knitted bootees.
The list of gifts from schools, community groups and individuals includes a £54,000 charity donation and a silver rattle over the past year.
Not mentioned on the list is an 18 carat white gold rattle decorated with diamonds, rubies and sapphires to form the Union Jack worth £30,000.
The Natural Sapphire Company claims to have gifted Charlotte with the lavish baby toy in celebration of her birth in May last year.
The company says that it presented the gift to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's second child by way of thank you as, following the couple's engagement, sales soared as women tried to replicate the Duchess' sapphire engagement ring.
Kensington Palace were unable to confirm whether the rattle had been received by Prince William and Kate - adding that, as a general rule, gifts from commercial companies were not accepted.
The unique toy is not the only luxurious gift to be bestowed on the baby, with a silver rattle being given to her by the President of Mexico, Enrique Peña Nieto, and his wife, Señora Angélica Rivera, during their visit to Britain in 2015.
