Kraljevska obitelj ni na Božić ne odstupa od svojih običaja, a vaganje prije i poslije večere samo je jedan od njih. Kad je riječ o darivanju, kraljica je propisala nekoliko pravila, prenosi The Sun. Naime, članovi kraljevske obitelji poklone, koje moraju neprimjetno ostaviti ispod božićnog drvca, otvaraju na Badnjak u 18 sati, u crvenoj sobi za primanje u Sandringhamu.

Kraljica nalaže da se darovi ne smiju otvarati prije nego li to dopusti princ Philip. Bit darivanja je da pokloni budu što jeftiniji i što luđi. Neki od primjera iz proteklih godina su set za uzgajanje djevojke, koji je Kate poklonila Harryju dok je još bio neženja te otirač za kupaonicu s printom leopardovog krzna što je bio Dianin poklon Sari Ferguson, vojvotkinji od Yorka.

The ceremony of Trooping the Colour is believed to have first been performed during the reign of King Charles II. In 1748, it was decided that the parade would be used to mark the official birthday of the Sovereign. More than 600 guardsmen and cavalry make up the parade, a celebration of the Sovereign's official birthday, although the Queen's actual birthday is on 21 April. / AFP PHOTO / Daniel LEAL-OLIVAS
