The royal family is undoubtedly the most talked-about in the world, particularly at Christmas, with the Mountbatten-Windsors known to go all out over the festivities. Yes, royal Christmases at Sandringham are legendary - featuring joke gift exchanges on Christmas Eve,

Most people probably assume that members of the Royal Family spend Christmas in decadent surroundings, sitting on plush furniture, and eating expensive meals. However, one royal expert has suggested that some aspects of the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk, where the royals traditionally spend the holiday season, are a little antiquated.

While making an appearance on Mail+'s Palace Confidential podcast, royal expert Rebecca English revealed that while Sandringham can “fit about 16 to 18” overnight guests, the accommodations are dated and feature what she called “fish finger beds”–”old-fashioned beds with the really creaky bed springs at the bottom.”

King Charles and Queen Camilla, who have made Christmas morning mass at Sandringham Church an annual tradition, were joined by Prince William, Kate Middleton and their three children: Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

King Charles and his family strolled to St Mary Magdalene, a 16th-century church on the Sandringham estate, part of a royal family tradition that's been going for decades.

News Corp columnist Angela Mollard believes the Royal Family’s Sandringham Christmas walk showed “solidarity” among the members despite a hard year with family tensions and medical diagnoses.
