The royal family has some really weird holiday traditions.
Though every family seems to have their own unique holiday traditions, some are weirder than others.
The royal family, however, just might take the cake (or perhaps Christmas pudding?)
for the silliest seasonal traditions known to humankind.
Read on to learn all about the royal family’s really weird holiday traditions.
Some might find this royally inappropriate, but the family seems to love the tradition.
Among the most celebrated is Queen Elizabeth’s festive Christmas Luncheon.
However, we imagine there’s plenty of fun, frivolity, and festive food involved.
However, the Queen travels via train to Sandringham Estate after wrapping up her Christmas Luncheon, according toPopSugar.
The royal family has some really weird holiday traditions, and their Christmas tree situation is no different.
However, the family still displays two different Christmas trees at the property.
It’s really quite sweet that the family has been using the same tree for all this time.
Maybe even the week before Christmas, if you’re running low on time?
Queen Elizabeth reportedly signs the cards in one of three ways, depending on her relationship with the recipient.
Card recipients who don’t know the Queen personally reportedly receive a rubber stamped signature.
She then hands the gifts out one at a time before she leaves London for the holidays.
According toPopSugar, the royal brothers play a game of soccer every year on Christmas Eve.
They usually play on opposing sides, and the game is supposedly fiercely competitive.
These siblings are just like regular folks when it comes to sports, apparently!
Prince Harry and Prince William do sometimes put their sibling rivalry aside to work together, though.
They even wore matching jerseys for the event.
Have you ever consumed a coin-sized treat?
Interestingly, the Queen’s favorite is a cocktail that includes Dubonnet and gin.
Can you imagine the Queen and her family miming songs and movies, and acting out scenarios?
Who knew Queen Elizabeth had such a great sense of humor!
Christmas dinner at Sandringham Estate starts quite early, according toMirror.
That’s a far cry fromwhat Queen Elizabeth typically eats in a day!
Given this fact, this toast might be one of the highest honors a royal chef can receive!
However, the tradition has existed since the early 1900s, back when King Edward VII was in power.
But that’s the whole point of the tradition.
Since then, photographers reportedly haven’t been able to spectate the event quite as closely.
She instead prefers to follow her own rule about when Christmas decorations need to be packed away.
The sad incident occurred at the very same property.
She reportedly observes the day of mourning in private, and then return to London to commence her royal duties
