If there’s one thing that Christmas is like for the Royals, it’s traditional. From being weighed before they begin the celebrations at Sandringham to opening their presents on Christmas Eve, the festive season for the royal family is full of traditions that many of us would consider weird or wacky.

A 19-year-old man bearing what police termed “an offensive weapon” was arrested Christmas morning on the grounds of Windsor Castle, the chief residence of Britain’s monarch, Queen Elizabeth II. The queen was on the premises at the time, celebrating the holiday with Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, according to multiple reports. The man did not enter any buildings and the queen was unharmed.
