Deck the halls! The King and Queen have shared a sneak peek at the festive transformation of one of their royal residences.

While Charles and Camilla traditionally spend Christmas on the Sandringham estate in Norfolk, royal fans can view the decorations up close at Windsor Castle this festive season.

Visitors can see the magnificent displays at the monarch's Berkshire abode until 6 January 2025, including the 20-foot-high Nordmann Fir Christmas tree in St George's Hall, which was sourced from Windsor Great Park. See a glimpse in the video below...
