A Royal Christmas
March 10, 2010
This is for all those inquisitive souls who want to peep into the Royal family Christmas celebrations. Well, we’ll gladly enlighten you on the subject.
The present Royal Family has a tradition of spending their Christmas at their Sandringham house in Norfolk Unlike the belief; they like to spend the festival by visiting the church and having a Christmas lunch together like any other family. Then they all sit together to listen to the Queen’s speech at 3 PM.
The family gathers in a white drawing room for the Christmas Eve. The 20 feet Christmas tree is decorated by the Queen herself, is especially cut from the royal estate. The family sits together for the evening tea at 5 PM. The queen signals the members to open their Christmas gifts at 6 PM on the Christmas Eve which is a German tradition. The rest of the evening is spent in jubilations of the merry occasion.
On the Christmas day, the royal family pays a visit to St. Mary Magdalene church for the morning service at around 11 AM after having a full English breakfast. Generally, a giant turkey is served for the lunch that is reared on the estate for the occasion. 3 ‘O clock is the time, when the family sit together in a saloon, warmed with the log fire to listen to the queen’s speech that’s broadcasted on TV.
However, this year the Queen plans to relinquish the traditional Sandringham house to celebrate the festival. Instead, they plan to commemorate the festival at the Windsor Castle. The monarch has made this change after considering the request from his son Charles and grandsons William and Harry. Windsor castle is a place near to their home and of course the young princes will have a chance to spend time with their respective girlfriends as well!
Incidentally, Windsor castle used to hold overgenerous parties for the Christmas at the time of Queen Victoria, the great great grandmother of the present Empress.
Also, Prince Charles plans to spend the Christmas vacation in Scotland along with his wife Camilla Parker Bowles. Prince William and Prince Harry are flying to Switzerland and Africa respectively with their partners for the vacations.
So if you plan to celebrate the occasion in a royal spirit, incorporating all the exclusive gifts, delicacies and travel packages, you can take your pick at our website www.ukonlinemarket.com. Let’s celebrate this event in a complete royal manner. Hail Christmas!

How to visit Royal family and say Merry Christmas to them?
Yes i hope i can say Merry Christmas to royal family in real life are there any way You all my royal friends.
The Royal Family in London does speak English so you can say it the way you say it here.
I lived in Belgium which is close to Germany and across the channel to England.
Visited London Many many times. Only saw the Queen and her family Once during those trips. It was one I’ll never forget.
It was the Queens Birthday.
That will probably be Your Best chance at seeing her.
In order to say anything to them with them speaking back you would have to be someone very important… like the president.
They have ‘ open house ‘ sometimes but the family is usually away.
If it ever does happen for you…. have fun with it !
Good Luck !

"HOW DO I WRITE TO THE QUEEN OR A MEMBER OF THE ROYAL FAMILY, OR BEHAVE WHEN I MEET THEM?
Lots of people ask this question. There are no obligatory codes of behaviour – simply courtesy.
For more formal correspondence, people write to The Queen with the formal opening ‘Madam’ and close the letter with the form ‘I have the honour to be, Madam, Your Majesty’s humble and obedient servant’.
For other members of the Royal Family the formal opening is ‘Sir’ or ‘Madam’. Other people prefer to open their letter with ‘Your Majesty’ or ‘Your Royal Highness’ and end it with ‘Yours sincerely’.
There are also no obligatory codes of behaviour when meeting The Queen or a member of the Royal Family, but many people wish to observe the traditional forms.
For men this is a neck bow (from the head only) whilst women do a small curtsy. Other people prefer simply to shake hands in the usual way.
On presentation to The Queen, the correct formal address is ‘Your Majesty’ and subsequently ‘Ma’am’.
For male members of the Royal Family the same rules apply, with the title used in the first instance being ‘Your Royal Highness’ and subsequently ‘Sir’.
For other female members of the Royal Family the first address is conventionally ‘Your Royal Highness’ followed by ‘Ma’am’ in later conversation.
HOW DO I CONTACT ROYAL HOUSEHOLDS AND DEPARTMENTS?
The postal address for The Queen, members of the Royal Family and departments of the Royal Household is:
Buckingham Palace
London SW1A 1AA.
The postal address for The Prince of Wales’s Household Office is:
Clarence House
St. James’s Palace
London SW1A 1BA.
E-mail correspondence is not yet available from the Royal Households."
As you can see,someone from the Royal’s office will look through the mails first! To visist the Royals,your best bet is to go to one of their official visits to an opening,a hospital,and the like,but,you’ll most likely will only get to see them;if you are lucky, perhaps shake hands with one.
