Can you believe it has been a whole year already since Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and Clarke Gayford became parents to baby Neve Te Aroha Ardern Gayford?!

Born on June 21, the young tot shares a birthday with none other than Prince William!

And in celebration of her first birthday, the Duke of Cambridge found time to send her a classic gift that costs very little but holds a much deeper value in its tribute to a memory with his late mother, Princess Diana.

Wills gave little Neve an iconic New Zealand buzzy bee toy - which featured in one of the most famous photographs among the Royal Family's tours to the country.

Proud father Clarke Gayford took to Twitter to show off the gift.

"Torn between letting the 1st birthday girl continue to maul this amazing gift or putting it somewhere safe FOREVER," Gayford wrote on Twitter, alongside two photos of the quintessential Kiwi toy.

"Happy Birthday Prince William, what a great shared birthday (I'm pretty sure you win with this)," he added.
