JAKARTA - The King of England Charles III is planned to celebrate royal family Christmas, spending the holidays at Sandringham House, Norfolk.

Another royal family will join King Charles III and Queen Camilla, the first Christmas since the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

King Charles' plan to travel to Sandringham was announced by Buckingham Palace on Thursday, reported The National News Nov. 25.

Queen Elizabeth II hosted her family at Sandringham House during the celebration period in decades.

However, in the past two years this tradition has stalled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with Queen Elizabeth II spending Christmas at Windsor Castle, the first with only her husband Duke of Edinburgh, separated from her extended family due to lockdown.

Royal Christmas typically features a morning trip to the St Mary Magdalene Church, greetings from sympathizers, and family lunches with turkey and all its facilities. Princes and Princess Wales as well as their children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis are often gathering guests.

King Charles is also preparing to record his historic first Christmas broadcast as king, where he will definitely reflect on losing his mother.

Traditionally, royal family members sit to watch television broadcasts when broadcast after lunch, usually at 3 p.m. on Christmas Day.

Sandringham House has been the private home of four generations of British kings for more than 160 years.

The late Queen Elizabteh II celebrated the night of her platinum celebration there just seven months before her death.

Sandringham House was purchased in 1862 by the then Prince of Wales, who later became Edward VII, as a private rural retreat.

The house was rebuilt in 1870 to make sure it was big enough for his growing family.

George V, the queen's grandfather, described the house as "Dear old Sandringham, my most beloved place than any other place in the world".

Meanwhile, George VI, the queen's father, wrote: "I've always been very happy here and I love this place."
