The royal family is set to spend Christmas at Sandringham, il tardi regina Elisabetta‘s beloved country estate in Norfolk.

During her life, the history-making monarch would take the train from London to Norfolk in December to spend Christmas at the country residence. She would usually stay at Sandringham until the anniversary of her father King George VI’s death and her accession to the throne in early February.

A causa della pandemia di COVID-19, the royal family was separated for the past two Christmas holidays.

Each Christmas, the royal family makes a trip to St. Mary Magdalene church for mass, followed by greeting well-wishers. They then head back to Sandringham to enjoy a traditional turkey holiday feast.
