The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh will spend Christmas at Windsor, rather than at Sandringham as per tradition, Buckingham Palace has said.
"Having considered all the appropriate advice, the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh have decided that this year they will spend Christmas quietly in Windsor," said a spokesperson.
The Queen and The Duke usually spend the festive period and New Year with family at Sandringham House in Norfolk.
This is the first time they have forgone this tradition since 1988.
