This festive season, the King’s official residences — Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle, and the Palace of Holyroodhouse — will be transformed into glittering showcases of Christmas splendour. Expect towering trees, sparkling decorations, and festive guided tours through some of Britain’s most historic rooms.
