Britain's Prince George will receive a Sh700,000 (£4,650) rocking Zebra for Christmas.

The 17-month-old son of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge is being given the toy by his grandparents, the Duchess' mother and father, Carole and Michael Middleton, reports the Daily Mail newspaper.

A source close to the family said: "A rocking horse has been on the Christmas list for some time."

George is spending the festive period at Amner Hall, part of his grandmother Queen Elizabeth II's Sandringham estate in Norfolk, with his parents and will join the 88-year-old monarch and his grandfather Prince Philip for Christmas lunch at their residence on Christmas day.

The royal tot is also set to unwrap a toy car, a deluxe railway set and an illustrated book entitled 'Happy Hooves Oh! Oh! Oh!' by Anna bogie.
