Decoration­s on theme fir Queen

-

CHRISTMAS has arrived at Buckingham Palace as festive trees adorn the Marble Hall – in shots shown off on the Royal Family Instagram account.

And the Windsor-grown firs are hung with some quirky on-theme decoration­s.

Small crowns encrusted with jewels and embroidere­d carriages dangle from the boughs, while the grand staircase is decked with baubled garlands.

A caption read: “Displaying Christmas trees was introduced to Britain in the late 18th century by Queen Charlotte, consort of King George III.”
