The festive season is fast approaching, and Europe’s various royal families have already begun putting up their respective Christmas trees and rolling out traditions. But where will they be celebrating Christmas Eve this year? While most of them prefer to stay in their main residence, some are treating themselves to a stay in a completely different place.
Find out where the crowned heads of multiple royal families will be spending Christmas this year.
The British Royal Family
The family, who have already gathered for the annual carol concert organized by Kate Middleton will be celebrating Christmas in the private residence of King Charles III at Sandringham. Every year, the British royal family celebrates Christmas with a sumptuous meal in the ballroom of their residence on the Norfolk coast. Beforehand, the family heads to Sandringham village church for a service.
The Spanish royal family
This Christmas, Felipe VI and Letizia of Spain will be welcoming their loved ones to the Zarzuela Palace in Madrid. Unlike other royals, Spanish festivities extend right up to the eve of Epiphany, on January 5. The military ceremony known as Pascua Militar, led by the King and Queen, concludes the following day, marking the start of the official calendar of Spanish sovereigns.
