Royal Christmas Traditions

Many Royal Christmas traditions we can think of are actually much younger than expected. But some are older than we were told, too.

And in other countries other Royal families are leading in defining Christmas traditions.

It is a tough life for the diffident husband of Crown Princess Victoria having been born on the day of his father-in-law's accession to the throne.
