Welcome to A Right Royal Podcast’s festive Christmas special! Have you ever wondered about how the royals celebrate this time of year? Is it all turkey and fighting over Monopoly, or does the family have some other key traditions?
In our new episode, our hosts Andrea and Emmy are back to discuss all things Christmas at the royal residences and take a trip to Windsor Castle and the Tower of London to meet the curators as well as admire the incredible decorations and learn all about why they were chosen. They also find out what goes into a royal Christmas (we’ll give you a hint, many of their traditions came from Queen Victoria and Prince Albert’s reign!).

We were then joined by Call the Midwife’s very own Leonie Elliott, who read a poem at the service and chatted to us about the experience, meeting the Princess of Wales and the charity behind the event (while giving us some tidbits about Call the Midwife too, of course!)
