Two royal residences are usually at the centre of royal festive celebrations, with previous monarchs including Queen Victoria celebrating Christmas at Windsor Castle since the twelfth century. 

However, during King Edward VII and King George V’s reigns, Christmas almost always took place at Sandringham Estate in Norfolk. A tradition Her Majesty has greatly adopted. 

While the Royal Household are yet to share a glimpse of their festive decorations at Windsor Castle or Sandringham, The Queen’s official residence in Scotland was given a Christmas make-over earlier this month. 

Highlight of the Palace of Holyroodhouse display in Edinburgh is a 15ft tall tree with sparkling decorations in the Great Gallery. It is the Palace’s biggest room. This tree is proudly displayed next to a Charles II painting.
