Prince Harry and Meghan Markle gave Prince Louis the sweetest gift for his christening

Only the best for his nephew! Prince Harry (and assumingly Meghan Markle) gifted Prince Louis the sweetest and no doubt the fanciest gift for his christening.

According to UK publication The Sun, the fifth in line to the throne received a first edition "Winnie-the-Pooh" book from the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. The royal couple reportedly purchased the 1926 first edition of the A.A. Milne book from rare-bookseller Peter Harrington. Only 30,000 copies were printed in the first run of the book, which is now valued at around $10,000.

The present is also a touching tribute to his mother, the late Princess Diana. According to a source close to the royal family, one of Harry's fondest childhood memories was being read a bedtime story by his mother.

"She loved all the old classics and Harry had the brilliant idea of starting a little library of first editions for Louis, Charlotte and George to enjoy as they get older," the source revealed.

While we don't know what uncle Harry gave George and Charlotte for their christenings, we can only imagine it be as fancy (and as expensive!) as the present he gave to Louis.

The newest addition to Prince William and Duchess Kate's family was christened on Monday afternoon. While Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip surprisingly didn't attend the service, Harry and Meghan made an appearance, as well as Louis' godparents.
