Christmas & New Years at Sandringham House

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝐻𝒾𝓈𝓉𝑜𝓇𝓎

Sandringham House is Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s Country Estate in Norfolk. In the 1960′s, Queen Elizabeth’s & her children would celebrate Christmas at Windsor Castle. Starting in 1988, Windsor Castle was being rewired, so the Royals traveled to Sandringham for Christmas. The Sandringham Estate is set on 24 Hectares (59.3 Acres) of Garden.

Every year before the stay at Sandringham begins, Queen Elizabeth takes an empty pre-scheduled carriage of the train to from London to King’s Lynn Station in Norfolk. In the Carriage is Queen Elizabeth, Prince Philip, & Immediate Staff. The rest of the British Royal Family will arrive at a specific time on Christmas Eve, depending on their status. Junior Members arrive first & Important Members (Prince Charles & Camilla, The Duke & Duchess of Cambridge & their children, etc.) arrive last.

After all family members have arrived at Sandringham, the Estate can be quite crowded. Due to The Sandringham Estate not being as large as other royal family residences, some family members end up staying in the staff quarters. Staff will transfer from their normal quarters & live in either estate cottages or surrounding villages.

𝑀𝒶𝓇𝓇𝒾𝑒𝒹 𝒞𝑜𝓊𝓅𝓁𝑒𝓈

When the family arrives to the Sandringham Estate, the only family members invited to Sandringham are Married Couples & children. For example, before William & Catherine were married in 2011, the now Duchess was not allowed to attend Christmas at Sandringham. Mike Tindall (Husband of Zara Tindall) or Jack Brooksbank (Husband of Princess Eugenie) were not invited to Christmas at Sandringham, until they were officially married to their wives. The only Royal Member of the Family who has broken this protocol, is Megan The Duchess of Sussex. She attended Christmas at Sandringham, during the year she became engaged to Prince Harry Duke of Sussex.

The First Royal Christmas Tree was introduced to Sandringham House by Her Majesty Charlotte The Queen. The Tradition was kept going by Her Majesty Victoria The Queen & her husband His Royal Highness Albert Prince Consort. The Tradition of having a Christmas Tree has continued onto this day & Queen Elizabeth will let her grandchildren & great grandchildren help decorate the trees. 

The Royal Family has a Large Christmas Tree & also a 30 year old Large Silver Artificial Tree in the Dining Room at Sandringham. All the Christmas decorations  stay up until February to honor Queen Elizabeth’s father, King George VI who died on Wednesday, February 6th, 1952.

The day of Christmas Eve, each member of the Royal Family will lay out the presents they bought on the trestle table. The gifts are then exchanged during the Afternoon Teatime, when Prince Philip says everyone is allowed to open their gifts. The British Royal Family do have a sense of humor when it comes to giving each other gifts. Members will sometimes give each other joke presents! Example: Kate Middleton once gave Harry a “Grow Your Own Girlfriend” one year! Harry also gave his grandmother a shower cap with the saying “Ain’t life a b**ch.”

♕ 𝐹𝒶𝒸𝓉: Her Majesty does her Christmas Gift & Decorations Shopping at Harrods! The store would stay open after hours so that Queen Elizabeth could shop on her own.

♕ 𝐹𝒶𝒸𝓉: The family’s favorite treat during their Afternoon Christmas Eve Teatime is the Jam Penny Sandwiches. The Jam Penny Sandwiches are jam filled sandwiches that are cut into circles the size of an old English penny. (Size Reference Below)

Besides family, The Royal Staff are even given Christmas gifts from Queen Elizabeth & Prince Philip! The week before Christmas, the staff are taken into one of the State Apartments, the Head of Staff announces his annual report of their yearly performance, & the staff are then given their gift. The staff can choose between receiving a gift token or a book token, but in order to receive their gift they must be qualified. The qualification is to been in service of the royal family for over a year & their value increases every year, they serve the royal family. Junior Staff are given a token worth £28 ($36.01) & the token increases up to £35 ($45.02). Besides tokens, the staff is also given Christmas puddings with a greeting card all paid for by the Queen. 1,500 total Christmas puddings are made & distributed.

After eating a filling Christmas Day Lunch, the family has 2 choices of After Lunch Activities: Exercise on the Estate or Putting Together Puzzles. The choice to exercise, is to help members digest their food faster & prepare them for Christmas Dinner. The choice to put together Jigsaw Puzzles, is a fun hobby of the Queen’s & the children love it too!

The Royal Family loves Charades! Every year after their Christmas Dinner, the family will get together to play a game of charades with each other. They’ll stay up late into night playing because nobody retires to be before the Queen does.

Every year on Christmas Morning, the British Royal Family attends the Christmas Church Service at St. Mary Magdalene Church. The entire family walks together in a group & is led by Prince Philip but Her Majesty The Queen, is driven in a car to the church. The family attends a private service just for them at 9 A.M & there is a public service at 11 A.M for anyone who wants to attend. For the Public Service, attendees must pass a security check several months before December.

𝒞𝒽𝓇𝒾𝓈𝓉𝓂𝒶𝓈 𝐿𝓊𝓃𝒸𝒽 & 𝒟𝒾𝓃𝓃𝑒𝓇

Just like the rest of the families around the world who celebrate Christmas, the British Royal Family have Christmas meals together. Before the family arrives at Sandringham, each member has to practice their French because the Lunch & Dinner menus are in French. Guests are allowed to bring a dish if they choose to.

♕ 𝐿𝓊𝓃𝒸𝒽: After a morning of reflecting at Church, the family will join together for a big lunch. The Lunch includes Salad with Shrimp or Lobster, Turkey (2 Turkeys that are each 25 pounds), Parsnips, Carrots, Brussel Sprouts, & Christmas Pudding with Brandy Butter.

♕ 𝒟𝒾𝓃𝓃𝑒𝓇: After a long day of festivities, the family will once again join together for a big dinner. Unlike the Christmas Lunch where you order your food, Christmas Dinner is a buffet! Dinner includes Rib Roast, Turkey, Ham, & other delicious dishes. Before dinner begins & the family goes inside the dining room, the senior chef must carve whatever meat is served, present the Queen with a glass of Whiskey, & the Queen says a toast to the family & staff. Children are not allowed at Dinner until they are of proper age of behavior, so the young ones are sent off to the nursery.

Fashion Rules of The Women of The British Royal Family

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

𝐵𝓇𝒾𝑔𝒽𝓉 𝒞𝑜𝓁𝑜𝓇𝓈

We all love how beautiful & bright Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II looks! The Queen’s bright rainbow are actually for a safety reason. With being the Queen, she needs to be able to stand out in the crowd incase something bad does happen. Her bright colors also lightened up the mood/day with anyone she meets or for anyone who sees her.

The wearing of hats is a royal etiquette rules, that dates all the way back to the 1950′s. Though during the 1950′s, women did begin to stop wearing hats when being out in the public area. 

𝒞𝓊𝓇𝓇𝑒𝓃𝓉 𝑅𝓊𝓁𝑒

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II has kept the tradition of the Wearing of Hats alive. At Formal Engagements such as Weddings, Christenings, The Trooping of Color, & other engagements, women must wear a hat or a fascinator. Though when 6 P.M rolls around, all hats are traded in for Tiaras. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝒲𝑒𝒶𝓇𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝑜𝒻 𝒯𝒾𝒶𝓇𝒶𝓈

𝐻𝒾𝓈𝓉𝑜𝓇𝓎

To wear a Tiara for a Formal Night Event (or Wedding), a women (either marrying in or is getting married to an outside) must married. A women wearing a tiara, signifies their relationship status & let’s other men know they are married. A Tiara is a sign of love & the loss of innocence to marriage. A Family Tiara (Example: Diana’s Lover’s Knot Tiara when by Kate) means that the women is now wearing the groom’s jewelry, as a married women is expected to do & means that she has left her family, & has joined a new one. Diana The Princess of Wales, was the last royal bridge to stick to wearing family jewelry, as she had worn her family tiara (The Spencer Tiara) for her wedding to His Royal Highness Prince Charles The Prince of Wales in 1981. 

𝒞𝓊𝓇𝓇𝑒𝓃𝓉 𝑅𝓊𝓁𝑒

A Tiara can now be worn before 6 P.M, because a tiara is considered formal attire. This rules has now been changed for the Royal Weddings, which a bride can wear a tiara during the day for her wedding. A tiara is worn at night for formal occasions like Black Tie Receptions, State Dinners, Holiday Dinners, etc. For example, when Megan the Duchess of Sussex attended a Black Tie Reception in Fiji, she could have worn a tiara but did not wear one for the formal event.

When placing a tiara on a women’s head, follow these instructions:

♕ Place the Thumb on the Middle of the Chin & the Index Finger in the Gap between the Eyebrows

♕ Move the Fingers up until the Thumb ends up where the Index Finger was

♕ This is where the Tiara must sit on top of the Women’s Head.

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, has to be protected at all times. The Wearing of Gloves, like her colorful wardrobe is another safety precaution. When the Queen attends engagements of her own, she has to shake hands with the people she meets. The Queen wears her gloves to prevent germs! The gloves are made by the royal glove maker, the color of the gloves are either black or white (depending on the outfit), & the gloves are either of cotton or nylon material.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

𝒜 𝐵𝓁𝒶𝒸𝓀 𝒪𝓊𝓉𝒻𝒾𝓉

𝐻𝒾𝓈𝓉𝑜𝓇𝓎

When traveling, both royal men & women are required to carry a black outfit in case of an emergency. This is in the rare case that a family member has died, when they arrived back to England from wherever they have traveled, they are dressed in appropriate fashion. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II learned this lesson the hard way. In 1952, when Her Majesty’s father His Majesty George VI The King passed away. Her Majesty & His Royal Highness The Prince Philip Duke of Edinburgh, were in Kenya when the sad news was delivered to then young Princess Elizabeth. The Queen sadly did not have a black outfit with her, so she was forced to stay seated on the plane until an employee could deliver a black outfit for her to wear.

 𝒞𝓊𝓇𝓇𝑒𝓃𝓉 𝑅𝓊𝓁𝑒

When traveling, both royal men & women are required to carry a black outfit in case of an emergency. It is rare to see women wear black, when she is traveling outside of the country. Black is mostly worn on Remembrance Day (A day of remembering those who died in battle). We have seen the Duchess of Cambridge, Princess Beatrice of York, Mrs. Jack Brooksbank, & the Duchess of Sussex, have broken out & have worn black outfits to formal & non-formal engagements. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝒲𝑒𝒶𝓇𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝑜𝒻 𝒞𝑜𝒶𝓉𝓈

The British Royal Family is always about the women staying in a modest fashion. When a women wears a coat, it must stay on. A lady taking off a coat in a public view, is an unladylike action that she must not break. For Example, if Kate is wearing a coat in the picture below, she must keep it on.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

𝑀𝒶𝓃𝒾𝒸𝓊𝓇𝑒

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth’s favorite nail polish cost only $9?! Yes, the Queen’s favorite nail polish is called Ballet Slippers by Essie & is of a nude color. Royal Women must only wear either a pale pink polish or a clear polish, to keep her nails looking beautiful. The Duchess of Cambridge has broken this rule before but used her toes! The Duchess was seen with a red polish on her toes!

𝒞𝓁𝓊𝓉𝒸𝒽𝑒𝓈 & 𝐻𝒶𝓃𝒹𝒷𝒶𝑔𝓈

A girl always has a good clutch, handbag, or purse on her to keep her necessities like keys, glasses, & makeup in right? Not for the women (especially The Queen) of The British Royal Family.

𝒞𝓊𝓇𝓇𝑒𝓃𝓉 𝑅𝓊𝓁𝑒

Women of the Royal Family, will carry a handbag with her when she does not want to shake hands with whoever she is meeting. The public is not allowed to touch any member of the Royal Family, unless that member makes a move to show they want to hug or shake hands. The handbag is a signal that the women is too occupied to shake hands or hug. Handbags are traditionally carried in the left hand.

𝒮𝒾𝑔𝓃𝒶𝓁𝓈

The Queen will carry a handbag with her wherever she goes but this is for a reason. She uses to quietly send signals to the staff around her. When The Queen wants to leave dinner, she sets her bag on top of the table, letting not only staff but other eaters know that dinner will be over in 5 minutes. When The Queen is in the middle of a boring conversation, she will place her bag on the floor, letting her lady-in-waiting know that she would like to move on.

𝒰𝒽-𝒪𝒽!

When Diana was a member of the royal family, she used her clutch as a slip-up bag. This means, that whenever she would step-up out of cars, that the clutch would be used to shield any view the public could get of her cleavage. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝒮𝒽𝑜𝑒 𝐵𝒶𝓃

As you see in most every picture, of the shoes the women of the British Royal Family, most shoes are heels! The one heel that is not necessarily banned, but one the Queen herself is not a fan of is Wedged Heels. We have seen The Duchess of Cambridge, where them just a few times with some of her more casual attire.

𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝑅𝓊𝓁𝑒 𝒻𝑜𝓇 𝐻𝑒𝑒𝓁𝓈

If a women wears heels to an engagement or official event, there are rules when it comes to picking the right pair of shoes to wear. The Rule for Heels is that the heels must be six inches or under, so that the women is not wobbling around when walking & that the women must not appear too tall for people to notice. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

𝒮𝒽𝑜𝓌 𝒜 𝐿𝒾𝓉𝓉𝓁𝑒 𝐿𝑒𝑔

When wearing a dress, it’s common for a women’s legs to be showing. For the British Royal Women, showing leg is okay but it needs to be in a modest fashion. When showing legs in a dress or skirt, women are expected to wear pantyhose or tights for all public outings. 

This rule has only been broken twice by the Duchess of Sussex, when she did not wear pantyhose during her November Engagement photos & when she attended Hamilton in London with her husband. She quickly has switched her style to wearing from skipping the tights to making sure she wears them.

Everyone remembers the famous Marilyn Monroe picture with the white dress floating up around her. Well that is why this specific rule is enforced for all dresses of the women of the British Royal Family. 

𝒟𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈 𝐻𝒶𝒸𝓀

For the dresses of the the women of the Royal Family, dresses have been hacked! With each dress, little weights are sewn into the hemlines of the dress. This helps prevents skirts from flying up when a really heavy breeze decides to blow around.

𝒟𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈 & 𝒮𝓀𝒾𝓇𝓉 𝑅𝓊𝓁𝑒𝓈

Besides having the weights sewn into the hemlines of dresses & skirts, the length of a dress or skirt should always be appropriate. The length of a dress or a skirt, should always be around knee length, which is always 3 or 4 inches above the knee. Besides the length, dresses must not be sleeveless. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

𝑀𝑜𝒹𝑒𝓇𝓃 𝐹𝒶𝓈𝒽𝒾𝑜𝓃

As tradition, we all see the women of the Royal Family wearing dresses for every engagement & event they attend. Some of the women though, have begun to not only wear dresses & skirts, but have begun to incorporate Jeans, Business Pants, & for some engagements Sports Pants. Queen Elizabeth doesn’t prefer pants so she sticks with dresses & skirts. Jeans are only allowed at the most casual events though like if the women will be outside all day.

The British Royal Family & other royal families around the world are known for their state tours to other countries. When traveling to other countries, women will show respect to that country but not only doing engagements, but by wearing fashion created by designers from that country. Whether it’s a brooch, a full outfit, just accessories, colors, for following the fashion rules of that country (Recent Example: head scarf wore in Pakistan), it’s a respectful gesture.

For engagements & events, Women of the Royal Family typically have the same fashion: blazers, cardigans, trousers, & dresses/skirts. Denim is typically not seen in Royal Fashion (Mentioned Above in Modernized Fashion) of the women. Denim is typically worn only for private life like being at home or being out in public without the press knowing. Again, The Duchess of Sussex has broken out of the fashion protocol but not only wearing jeans like other royal women, but including denim tops with her jeans in a double denim fashion.

The British Royal Family is photographed every time they go out in public, whether it’s a wedding, a christening, an engagement, or an official event, so their fashion style will be talked about. The women will always want to look put together with whatever they wear, so fabrics of outfits must be chosen carefully. When styling an outfit, women will typically wear a fabric that does wrinkle & crease easily like Linen & Silk. Heavier fabrics like tweed & wool are typically chosen to wear because they are more durable. 

𝐻𝒶𝒾𝓇 𝒮𝓉𝓎𝓁𝑒 & 𝑀𝒶𝓀𝑒𝓊𝓅

The British Royal Family is photographed every time they go out in public, whether it’s a wedding, a christening, an engagement, or an official event, so their hygiene & appearance will be talked about. The hair & makeup of the British Royal women, should always look effortless, natural, & near. Royals will never have loud hair colors or shocking updos. In The Duchess of Cambridge, we are always see a change in hairstyle but it’s always looking neat, whether it’s a Parted Blow Out,  Big Curls, An Updo like a Ponytail or Bun, Half Up Half Down, or Bangs.

The Rule of Makeup should always be neat & natural. The example of neat makeup is the Duchess of Cambridge. With the Duchess always has a darker eye but the rest of the face is kept nude & natural.

Fur has always been a huge controversy in fashion whether the women was a famous actress, a common every day girl out in public, or a duchess in the royal family. During the 14th century, King Edward III of England declared that no one could wear fur. The Royal Family today, has not worn a ton of fur following that law. It has though soon up on the occasional coat or hat on a few of the women of the British Royal Family.
