Britain's Prince Andrew has become one the first people in the UK to get his hands on a limited edition 18-carat Apple Watch worth 12,000 pounds.

The 55-year-old Duke of York tweeted a picture of himself wearing the watch at a meeting of the Commonwealth veterans' group.

Andrew is believed to have received the expensive gadget as a gift, the Independent reported.

He received more than 100 gifts last year during official engagements, including a model surface-to-air missile.

"A list of gifts received will be released in the usual way in early 2016," Andrew's spokesman was quoted as saying by the newspaper.

The Apple Watch, which went on sale last month, has many iPhone features including the one used to send text messages.
