Sandringham House was built in 1870 by the future King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra, and it's been passed down through several generations of monarchs. Today Sandringham is the country retreat of Her Majesty the Queen and His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh. They spend 6-8 weeks at Sandringham each year, including Christmas. We were informed by staff in the house that each room has a Christmas tree when HM arrives every year in mid-December.
Visitors are only allowed to visit a limited number of rooms in the house, but the grounds and gardens are gorgeous (as you can see).
We also enjoyed the museum, filled mostly with vintage royal cars. The first photo is a miniature car, but apparently it runs like a real one. Maybe it's too small in the photo, but the car bears the name of its owner. ("HRH Prince Charles") The second photo is the first car owned by a member of the royal family: a 1900 Daimler phaeton. Apparently it's still in working condition.

So how many Christmas trees would that be? Who does the decorating? Would they all look alike?
