This year the traditional celebration
Christmas at the Royal estate in Sandringham was marked with update
the composition of the guests. For the first time in history, in addition to the family of Queen Elizabeth and
the lawful spouse at the celebration were invited Meghan Markle, who had not yet
became the legal wife of Prince Harry.

They say
the Queen made such a departure from tradition, which it usually follows
strictly, because of Megan from the first meeting I had made
an extremely favorable impression. Perhaps in part, because she
the first minute managed to make friends with her Pets — dogs-Corgi
with extremely quarrelsome nature. “That’s crazy! These dogs were barking at me
more than thirty years. But as soon as Megan, and they fell victim to her charms!” —
said Harry in an interview that he and his beloved gave soon
after the engagement.

This year
dining, as usual in a Big House in Sandringham, in the morning all the Royal
the family went to morning service in the Church of St Magdalene,
nearby. Traditionally, relatives of Elizabeth get to
Church on foot. But this year, 91-year-old Queen chose to go
the service in the car that spawned the rumor about it being unimportant. However,
the Queen looked at this, it is enough
cheerfully. However, perhaps this impression was promoted by cheerful
color outfit Queen’s bright orange color.

Meanwhile, the Prince
Phillip, 96-year-old husband of the Queen ventured on foot, leading the
a procession of other members of the family. In his
traditional congratulatory speech on the occasion of Christmas every year
broadcast on TV, the Queen, celebrated this year’s 70th anniversary of its
weddings, special mention of her husband.
“Although last time he decided to “slow down” its active
activity, his extraordinary sense of humor remains the same as
the constant support that he has me that I constantly feel!” –
said Elizabeth. In his congratulatory speech she also announced that Parliament
to welcome the imminent completion of
the ranks of the Royal family — in the face
Meghan Markle, who on 15 may 2018
will be wife of Prince Harry and the child should give birth in the spring
the Duchess of Cambridge.

As for
procession on their way to Church, the greatest attention was attracted by the appearance of
two ladies: pregnant Duchess Catherine and bride of Prince Harry. Because they both
desperate women of fashion, between the ladies already, there is a correspondence competition on the part of the outfits. So this time all
began to compare the clothing of Katherine and Megan. It is curious that, according to
of the majority, the victory was for Markle! Because the Duchess in a plaid double-breasted
coat from Miu Miu, and trimmed with fur hat looked rather modest.
But Megan chose for its appearance a fashionable coat camel color
from Sentaler, combined with
spectacular suede boots, and a graceful hat, looked very elegant. To
also, Megan was impressed, making, as it should be when you are prompted
the Queen, a rather graceful curtsy — not worse than Katherine. But
the Duchess practised in this art for at least six years — since
she became the wife of Prince William.

Another
a departure from tradition, was the failure of this year’s Prince Harry to take part in
a traditional hunt held in Sandringham
on the second day of Christmas. Daring to displease the Queen, he
said that he no longer wants to be involved, as it is called defence
of nature, “blood sport”. And Harry doesn’t hide that he made such
the solution under the influence of his bride, which is the activist
for the protection of animals. Incidentally, the friends of the Prince are already starting to make fun on him that he is “under the thumb” of his bride. Shortly after this Prince declared, moreover, that he decided to quit Smoking — also at the urging of Megan.
