30 Secrets that the Royal Family didn’t want you to know
Christmas Dinner Cannot Begin Without Stepping Onto The Scales First
The royal family traditionally all get together for Christmas at the Queen’s Sandringham estate located in Norfolk. This custom is said to date from the early 20th century, and it is still preserved today with several other traditional customs. The queen reportedly goes back to her estate several days early to prepare.
