From a Slow Cooker to an Actual Bull, Here Are the Wedding Gifts Harry and Meghan Received

Updated on 5/31/2018 at 1:55 PM

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's nuptials were a grand affair, and their wedding gifts were just as extravagant. Even though the royal couple asked that their family and friends donate to charity in lieu of traditional wedding presents, that certainly didn't keep a select few from giving the newlyweds some pretty unique gifts. From a nonelectric portable slow cooker to a 007-themed bespoke set to an Indian bull (yes, you read that right), Harry and Meghan received an array of gifts worth up to $9 million!

However, the couple is sending them all back due to royal protocol. "Members of the family aren't allowed to accept gifts from people or businesses they don't know in order to prevent them from being exploited," Cosmopolitan reported. Welp!

From Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau

The Canadian prime minster sent "Canada's best wishes" to Harry and Meghan on Twitter and also made a generous donation to a children's sports charity on their behalf. "To celebrate their union, Canada will donate $50,000 to Jumpstart," Justin said in a statement. "Sophie and I congratulate the newlyweds on behalf of the Government of Canada. We wish Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Sussex a lifetime of happiness, and all the best as they start this new chapter together. We look forward to welcoming them on a future visit to Canada."

From New South Wales Premier Gladys Berejiklian

The premier of New South Wales announced on Twitter that the people of New South Wales named two koalas in Harry and Meghan's honor and also donated $5,000 toward preserving koala habitats.

From Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull

The Australian prime minister revealed on Instagram that the country would be making a donation to Harry's Invictus Games in honor of his marriage to Meghan. Malcolm also noted that he has two Akubra hats waiting for the royal couple when they visit later this year.

From Prince Seeiso and Princess Mabereng of Lesotho

The prince and princess of Lesotho reportedly gifted Harry and Meghan a Wonderbag. The nonelectric portable slow cooker was invented in South Africa and has helped to save the lives of several families across the continent. The couple also extended an invitation to Harry and Meghan to visit Lesotho to see the Wonderbags at work in local communities.

From PETA India

The animal rights organization may have given Harry and Meghan the most unique gift yet: an Indian bull. While PETA didn't actually give the bull to the couple, it adopted the injured animal on behalf of the royals and named him Merry (a hybrid of Harry and Meghan's names).

"Prince Harry and Meghan Markle now have a 1-tonne bull to call their own," PETA founder Ingrid Newkirk said in a statement. "Rescuing Merry is an ideal wedding present for a couple who want their day celebrated with charitable works and contributions. The royal wedding is the perfect time for anyone to spare a thought for and show some love to all our fellow living beings."

From French President Emmanuel Macron

The French president gave Harry and Meghan two engraved pens, a lighter, and a vanity case from S.T. Dupont's 007 collection. According to the company's press release, former French president Vincent Auriol gave Queen Elizabeth II an S.T. Dupont Moroccan Blue bespoke travel case before her wedding to Prince Philip in 1947, and President Sarközy did the same for Prince William and Kate Middleton for their 2011 wedding.

From New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern

New Zealand's prime minister told reporters that the government would be donating $5,000 to Pillars, which is a charity that supports children of prisoners. Even though the organization was not on the list of charities the couple picked out, Jacinda told the New Zealand Herald that Harry and Meghan "are both very interested in initiatives that support vulnerable children and young people."
