U međuvremenu, u Bakingemskoj palati, tri božićna drveta su postavljena u prostoriji „Marble Hall“. Prostor je ukrašen lampicama, crvenim mašnama i mnoštvom kraljevskih tematskih ukrasa, kao što su krune, kočije i venci sa šarenim lopticama.

Watch The Christmas Trees arrive at Buckingham Palace 🎄 Every year, three trees are placed in the Marble Hall – and a garland is fixed along the grand staircase. The custom of displaying Christmas trees was introduced to Britain in the late 18th by Queen Charlotte, consort of King George III, although it was a yew tree rather than a fir that was used. The Christmas tree was popularised by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert in the nineteenth century. The Christmas Trees standing today at Buckingham Palace were grown in Windsor.

Ogromno crveno i zlatno božićno drvo postavljeno je u prostoriji „Throne room“ pored slike Čarlsa II. Veliko stepenište je okićeno mašnama, belim vencima i beličastim lampicama.

Božićno drvo za kraljevsku porodicu ima specifično značenje. Kraljica Šarlot, žena kralja Džordža III, donela je prvo božićno drvo u Englesku 1790. godine. I sve to zato što je to bila njihova tradicija u Nemačkoj. Ali to je bilo malo drugačije drvo od današnjeg, piše Vogue.
