The décor inside the castle includes a spectacular tree which stands at 20 feet (which is around the same height as the average two storey home in the UK!). The decorating of the tree is a military operation with ladders and multiple staff to make it perfect ahead of the celebrations.
Holyroodhouse will have a slightly smaller 15-ft tree in the Great Gallery which the public will be able to come and admire from the start of December.

It has not yet been revealed if His Majesty will invite his close family to reside at Sandringham House for Christmas, as the Queen used to. The royal family raditionally attend church at St Mary's Magdalene on the grounds of Sandringham on Christmas morning.
There are no presents on Christmas Day for the royals as they actually exchange gifts on Christmas Eve, thanks to the late Queen's German ancestry, where that is the tradition.
