From seven fishes and honey-glazed hams to vegetarian platters and mouth-watering roasts, holiday meals can vary depending on the household. When it comes to the British royal family, they’ve been known to keep their Christmas meals consistent and always abide by long-standing traditions - with a selection of meat and classic side dishes.

According to People, King Charles III and Queen Camilla are set to host Christmas at Sandringham House at the late Queen Elizabeth II’s former Norfolk estate, for the second year since her passing in September 2022.

What’s more, the family hadn’t gathered all together to revel in their time-honoured habits since before the start of the Covid-19 pandemic.
