Buckingham Palace shared the video on its official social media account along with the caption, “Preparations are taking place for this evening’s State Banquet!”
The message continued, “The traditional Christmas tree in St George’s Hall is a 25-foot-high Nordmann Fir tree taken from Windsor Great Park and is dressed with thousands of twinkling lights.” Thousands? I can barely get my one strand of twinkle lights untangled. I can’t even imagine how long it takes the royal decorators.
But this wasn’t the only festive tree royal fans were able to glimpse. The same day, Prince William and Princess Catherine shared a brand-new portrait where they’re standing in front of a Christmas tree in their gorgeous State Banquet attire.
