With Christmas finally here, the royals are likely to be looking forward to their festive celebrations at Sandringham Estate.

The Royal Family are known for their unique traditions at Christmas time, including opening presents the night before in line with the family's German roots and buying one another novelty gifts.However, some things remain traditional in the Firm and one of them is enjoying a classic Christmas dinner.
