Queen Elizabeth II

While Prince William and his wife Kate celebrated Christmas in London, the other members of the royal family traditionally met celebration at the estate Sandringham, in Norfolk. Morning Queen Elizabeth began with service in the church of St. Magdalene, where she was accompanied by numerous children and grandchildren, and her husband, Philip, who was forced to miss the ceremony last year for health reasons. Despite the fact that the beloved grandson of Her Majesty - Princes William and Harry, who is serving in Afghanistan - were unable to attend the service, miss Elizabeth did not have to - at the gates of the church it waited nearly a thousand subjects who literally showered gifts upon the representatives of the royal family bouquets, gifts and Christmas gifts.
