The Queen's Christmas decorations at Sandringham stay up until 6 February, the anniversary of her father King George VI's death
January 03, 2020 - 10:10 GMT Chloe Best While many families around the world will be taking down their Christmas decorations at the weekend, one person who won't be following suit is the Queen. The monarch and Duke of Edinburgh are said to disregard the tradition of taking down Christmas trees before Twelfth Night and instead keep the decorations up at the Sandringham Estate for another four weeks until 6 February – and the reason why is heartbreaking.
The date is an important one for the Queen, as it marks the anniversary of her father's death. King George VI passed away on 6 February 1952 at Sandringham House, and she stays there each year to mark the anniversary in private before returning to Buckingham Palace.
The Queen travelled to Sandringham on 20 December for an extended Christmas break, and her husband Prince Philip was released from hospital just in time to join the royal family on Christmas Eve after being admitted for a pre-existing condition. The monarch attended church on Christmas Day with many fellow senior royals including the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, who were joined by their eldest children Prince George and Princess Charlotte for the first time.
