“As adults, we still have stockings on Christmas Day,” she added, as reported by Hello!.
Zara also discussed her late grandparents, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, and whether they also received presents in the stockings, to which she replied: “Of course”.
Zara and her husband are said to spend the festive season with the other royals which includes a church service on Christmas Day.
Their daughters, Mia and Lena, also accompany them to the service and are often seen joyfully playing with their cousins, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
The Royal Family’s main tradition is heading to Sandringham House, the late Queen's country estate in Norfolk.
On the special day, the Royal Family all attend the church service at St Mary Magdalene Church which is a short distance from Sandringham House.
After church service, the Royal Family then tuck into a buffet-style lunch with the adults and children eating separately.
After their lavish Christmas lunch, the Royal Family then watch the king’s pre-recorded Christmas speech at 3pm.
