Christmas has always been a time for reflection, family, and cherished traditions. For Queen Elizabeth II, it was no different. Her life, entwined with this festive season, was marked by poignant moments that captured the essence of her reign and personal warmth. This year, as we celebrate her memory, we invite you to journey through these moments with our exclusive commemorative collection that captures five special Christmas memories from Her Majesty’s life.
A Young Princess Singing Carols with Her Sister

Visiting the Church of St Mary Magdalene
One of the Queen’s most cherished Christmas traditions was attending the service at the Church of St Mary Magdalene on the Sandringham Estate.

This commemorative captures these precious moments from the 1990s, symbolising her devotion and the enduring connection she shared with the community.
Riding in the Snow at Sandringham
An avid equestrian, Queen Elizabeth II often embraced the wintry landscapes of Sandringham. The image of her riding through the snow exemplifies her love for nature and tradition.
