The Prince and Princess of Wales have made it clear where they stand on the age-old question, when is the right time to put up your Christmas decorations? According to the royal couple November is not too soon!

Kensington Palace has unveiled a jaw-dropping Christmas tree outside which reaches 25ft! The height is taller than the average UK home, which stands at around 20 feet.

The Historic Royal Palace's Twitter feed shared the festive update from the home where Prince William and Princess Kate stay when they are attending royal duties in London after relocating their family to Windsor.

Their impressive tree has been decked beautifully with white snowdrop lights and white and silver decorations. There is a sparkling star at the top of the very tall tree, finishing the display off nicely.
