How the British Royal Family spends Christmas

The holiday season holds a special place in the hearts of the royal family, with traditions and memories stretching back generations. Prince Harry reminisces about Christmases at Sandringham in his memoir, "Spare," describing the excitement and chaos of opening presents with family members in a large room filled with joy and conversation. Sandringham, a cozy royal residence established in Tudor times and acquired in 1863 for King Edward VII, has been the favored holiday gathering spot for the royal family for over a century. The family's Christmas traditions have long captured public interest, from opening presents on Christmas Eve in line with German customs to exchanging humorous gag gifts, a practice even the late Queen Elizabeth II enjoyed.
