Both the Prince of Wales and the late Queen Elizabeth are included in the £40 range of glass decorations, but their son Prince William is the only member of the royal family on offer
Harry and Meghan’s absence from Selfridges’ Royal bauble collection has become the butt of jokes online, with shoppers quipping they might end up “in the bargain bin”.
Fans looking to add a regal touch to their tree can snap up £40 ornaments representing King Charles, the late Queen Elizabeth, or the Prince and Princess of Wales at the iconic Oxford Street location. Sadly, the Sussexes and Queen Consort Camilla are conspicuously missing from the luxury lineup.
Jibes about the oversight have spread across social media, with one user quipping: “I’m presuming that the Harry and Meghan baubles are in the bargain bin?!” Another chimed in: “I am sure Queen Camilla is very grateful!”

However, not everyone is thrilled by the appearance of the decorations, with comments ranging from labelling them as “tacky” to bluntly questioning, “Who in God’s name would want to look at William or his dad?”
Others disparaged the looks of the Royal couple’s baubles, with a detractor saying: “Both awful looking. No doubt the royal sycophants on here will lap these up, though.”

Within the walls of Selfridges, while many were initially taken by the quirky baubles, sticker shock was common. A pair of American tourists, after posing beside Prince William’s likeness, protested: “It’s nice – but not for £40!” Another shopper voiced her skepticism to a companion, musing: “They’re sweet – but £40 just for one?”

Prince William’s baubles found themselves nestled among those fashioned after British icon Audrey Hepburn and the American star Post Malone. Surrounding the future king were glittering figures of Amy Winehouse, Harry Styles, Freddie Mercury, Britney Spears, and Paul Hollywood.
These festive ornaments, crafted from coloured glass, stand approximately 12 – 13cm tall. King Charles graces one in his majestic Coronation Day regalia, while a separate bauble honours Queen Elizabeth adorned with one of her numerous crowns.
On its website, Selfridges extols its Kate Middleton decoration, calling it “a stunning depiction of Her Royal Highness Princess Kate.” About its Prince William ornament, the retailer boasts: “This piece is sure to add a hint of regal sophistication to your Christmas decor.”
