On the morning of December 25, the royal family walks in step with each other to St Mary Magdalene Church for a 45-minute Christmas service. One of the most cherished Christmas traditions of the royal family, the service is followed by a grand lunch consisting of turkey, potatoes, stuffing, and a traditional festive dessert.

As Prince Harry explained in his memoir, Spare, it is “a German tradition that survived the anglicizing of the family surname from Saxe-Coburg-Gotha to Windsor.”
