"Love visiting Sandringham - a fantastic day out," wrote one royal fan, while another enquired: "I wonder if Charles will have Christmas there."

The countryside bolthole was the former home of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the late monarch enjoyed Christmas time there almost every year before she passed away on 8 September.

Excitingly, the Sandringham estate is set to be home to new pub soon, which we're sure King Charles will approve of.

The Norfolk property opens to the public each year

The plan is to breathe new life into the late Queen's former social club after it closed down two years ago during the pandemic. The royal estate is planning to lease out the vacant Victorian building for conversion into a pub while retaining the freehold.

The vacant premises are being advertised as a "unique opportunity for investment and upgrading for a new occupier and business as a public house with associated restaurant" on Landles letting estate's website.

It continues: "A new occupier is now sought, with a plan to include engagement with the local community, for a new lease of life bringing commercial activity to the benefit [of] the community and help sustain these important premises." Cheers to that!
