It was once the Middlesex Hospital's chapel but today it's space if for quiet reflection. For his Christmas Message this year, The King has chosen @Fitzroviachapel, the first time the Sovereign’s Christmas message has been filmed outside a Royal residence since 2006.

Nice to see the Royals choices of #ChristmasCards. The King and Queen chose an informal pic of them arm-in-arm, while The Wales' chose a scene from the family video they shot in Norfolk this summer which they used to announce Catherine’s completion of preventative chemotherapy 🎅🎄

Today, I took the plunge to watch 5 tedious episodes of @netflix #Polo. The editing is good, it has to be. So what's its appeal? Sure to polo afficiando's and their strap hangers and the curiosity factor to the masses. If hoping to see H&M? Don't blink E1-4, although glimpses of both in E5

The abdication of Edward VIII in 1936 almost destroyed the monarchy. Even his father, George V, predicted his son would destroy himself within a year. Join the team on the latest edition of @TheRoyalBeat as we go back 88 years to that historic moment.

The royals can always be guaranteed to win out on soft diplomacy and The Prince of Wales showed how it's done. The Prince did more for #AngloAmericanRelations meeting with #DonaldTrump than any British politician could achieve. Both men in Paris for the re-opening ceremony of Notre Dame. 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 📷 #PA

With Christmas Day just 18 days away #WimbledonVillageStables had their annual Carol's concert in aid of the #RoyalMarsden and to the surprise and delight of the children a portly gentleman dressed in red and sporting a white beard dropped in on his way north on his trusty steed Oliver.

The Prince of Wales is travelling to Paris tomorrow to join world leaders including @realDonaldTrump for the reopening ceremony of the restored #NotreDameCathedral. The world-famous cathedral burned in a devastating fire in 2019. The Prince will be travelling at the request of the #UKGovernment

At last last night's Buckingham Palace State Banquet for the Amir of Qatar, The King spoke in Arabic praising his guest for the “tireless mediation” by Qatar in the Middle East over the past year. Good to see The Princess of Wales back on duty

A fantastic cross promotion of causes and some very special pups looking for a new home in time for Christmas...

Among the first to get a look at the footstools were a selection of rescue animals from Battersea Dogs and Cats Home, whose patron is Queen Camilla

In what has been a difficult and traumatic year for The Princess of Wales, she has penned a letter for every guest at next Friday's #WestminsterAbbey #TogetheratChristmasCarolService. She writes "love is the light that can shine bright & how much we need one another in the most difficult times".

Big treat tonight - dining @FfionasNotes (restaurant) voted the best in #KensingtonandChelsea but as far as I'm concerned, the very best in #London

On doctor's orders The Queen stayed at home while The King attended, as Patron, last night's Royal Variety Charity's show at The @RoyalAlbertHall. The glitterati turned out in force reminding us the show is about raising funds to help care for entertainers who have fallen on hard times

Fleetwood Mac have been around since the 1960s & singer/songwriter/musician #ChristineMcVie, with the group for almost three decades credited as being the glue that kept them together. A new must read biography, #Songbird captures the highs, the lows, the breakups and the breakdowns.
