She received a huge pile of presents and letters from 64 countries around the world.

Among them were New Zealand Rugby and Wellington rugby sleepsuits that her uncle, Prince Harry, brought back from his 2015 tour of the country, Britain's The Telegraph reported.

Prime Minister John Key also gifted Charlotte selection of teddy bears, baby blankets and booties made from New Zealand Stansborough wool.
