This festive season, a Regency-themed display will show how the Prince Regent (the future George IV) celebrated Christmas at Windsor Castle in the early 19th century.

In the magnificent State Dining Room, the table will be laid for a festive feast with pieces from the spectacular Grand Service. There will be decorated Nordmann Fir Christmas trees in St George's Hall and the Crimson Drawing Room, while the Octagon Dining Room will be decorated with yew to evoke a sense of how Queen Charlotte (the mother of George IV) would have decorated the Castle for the festive season, alongside Regency gifts she received.
