How the royals tend to spend their Christmas has not been released yet. However, Christmas Day church service is expected to be attended by Prince William, Meghan, Kate, and Prince Harry.

Christmas evening the two royal couples are set to spend with the Queen, Prince Charles and the Dutchess of Cornwall at Sandringham House in Norfolk, England.

While admiring the beautiful tree set up at Kensington Palace, it's also easy to admire the beauty of the Palace itself. First known as Buckingham House, it was a big townhouse designed for the Duke of Buckingham in 1703. It got bought by King George II in 1761 as Queen Charlotte’s private home after which it got known as The Queen’s House.

During the 19th century, the structure got expanded and became the principal residence for the British Royalty in 1837 with Queen Victoria. Located in Westminster, it is not surprising that Kensington Palace is currently listed as one of the most beautiful castles in the world.
