The Swedish royals have a stunning Christmas tree at Stockholm Palace
One of Europe's largest palaces, the Royal Palace of Stockholm is His Majesty's official residence and hosts most of the monarchy's official receptions.
Built by the architect Nicodemus Tessin, it boasts more than 600 rooms across eleven floors, including the Royal Apartments, three museums and the Royal Chapel, where the King's grandchildren Princess Estelle and Prince Oscar were baptised in May 2012 and May 2016 respectively.
King Carl and Queen Silvia's summer residence, Stenhammar Palace
King Carl and Queen Silvia permanently live at Drottningholm Palace but they also have their summer residence, Stenhammar Palace in Sodermanland, where they chose to isolate during the coronavirus lockdown.
The Swedish royals are not the only ones who will be decorating their residences for Christmas. Queen Elizabeth's festive plans for her homes were revealed back in October – and they include a 20-foot Christmas Tree in St George's Hall at Windsor Castle, where Her Majesty is currently residing.
In early December, the festive decorations at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Scotland will include a 15-foot Christmas tree in the Great Gallery, along with other seasonal decorations throughout the gorgeous State Rooms.
