Royal Christmases are .tragi• tionally spent atSandringham, a village near England's -East Coast, far from London and the ever present demands of public life. Sandringham House is per- haps, the Queen's favorite among her residences, since it is probably the only place where she and her family can relax and forget for a while the ar- duous role of royalty. Sandringham, unlike the oth- er royal residences, is the per- sonal property of the Queen, an added attraction since she must sometimes feel like an eternal guest in England's many palaces of state. It has no par- ticular historical importance at- tached to it, and it is free from the unhappy legends of past history that haunt many of the WIND • TORNADO • CYCLONE Insurance - R. F.

Christmas is perhaps the on- ly occasion, apart from formal affairs of state, when Britain's royalty get together as a fam- ily and share in the festivities that an average Canadian fam- ily takes for granted. Prince Charles and Princess Ann return from their boarding schools to join their young brother Andrew, who is now at an age when he can appreciate the Yuletide spirit. What does a little prince, sec- ond in line to England's throne, get for Christmas? His weight in jewels or a stable of Ara- bian stallions? Among Andrew's gifts last Christmas was a toy duck that quacks, a present from Princess Ann, who knows wphat small boys, even royal ones, like to play with. Andrew's little cousin, Vis- count Linley, may also spend the holiday at Sandringham with Princess Margaret and Lord Snowdon. And the Queen Mother is a regular member of the royal circle at Christmas. Pantomines She perhaps thinks back to wr;'•.'r irr•'i- wIrt i ) •t+iri;vr riu+Iw/ Le l..1rI 6t • ,4 • ,•.• .

It is doubtful that Britain's tomboy Princess Anne shares h.e r mother's taste for such amuse meats, She and her elder bro- ther probably prefer riding around the Sandringham estate with Prince Phillip, to dressing up in hooped skirts and pow- dered wigs. As "squire of Sandringham," the Queen comes as close to living as a private citizen as it is possible for a monarch to come. "Squire" is a term used by the tenants of an English estate to refer to its owner, and it is as such that the residents of Sandringham regard Eliza- beth. Each Christmas she and her family attend services in the local church and mix freely with the villagers, safe from the stares and flash -bulb pop- ping that greet them in any other part of Great Britain. In the tradition of a country squire, .the Queen awards prizes at the local grammar school and attends charity functions to help the needy at Christmas. One of the biggest and hap- piest festivities of the Christ- mas season is the tenant's ball, a party for all the villagers liv- ing on the Sandringham estate. The ball is held in the magnifii- cent ballroom of the palace and is highlighted by a huge Christ- mas tree which is loaded with gifts for everyone. But even at this time of the year, Queen Elizabeth cannot entirely forget that she is Queen of Great Britain and Head of the Commonwealth. State papers demanding her at- tention and signature arrive daily from London, and these must be dealt with, regardless of the festive season. The Commonwealth But the most important offi- cial function of Christmas, and probably the one which taxes the Queen most heavily, is the Christmas message, which is broadcast from Sandringham house to every country in the Commonwealth. Since a few years ago, when it -was decided to televise the Queen's greeting, so that her subject might see as well as hear their sovereign, Sandring- ham has been invaded by arc, lights and cameras, in addition to the large staff of technicians required to see that the mes- sage goes on -the air without a hitch. For the first time, Canadians have been able to glimpse into this royal palace where the Queen and her family celebrate Christmas. And despite the elegant trappings, . Christmas with the Mountbattens in Sand- ringham is not too different from Christmas anywhere in Canada or the Commonwealth.
