Royal family christmas

As Queen Elizabeth II becomes Britain’s longest-reigning monarch after beating Queen Victoria’s record of 63 years and 216 days on the throne, we take a look at her reign in pictures.

Ever seen The Queen of England wearing an ugly Christmas sweater? Probably not. It isn't exactly a common sight after all. But as you can see below, even her Highness can't resist getting into the Christmas spirit with a tasteless knitted jumper (emblazoned with a corgi dog wearing a crown. Obviously).

Model your family's Christmas menu off the delicious selection the Windsors enjoy each year. And look inside some royal traditions the family still uses to this day that are surprisingly normal. Eat and celebrate like a royal this holiday season! #marthastewart #recipes #recipeideas #christmasrecipes #christmaspotluck #christmasfood
