Mr Genney told how violence erupted in December last year when the

George, Charlotte and Louis won't eat with King on Christmas Day for strange reason
The Royal Family's Christmas celebrations are famously similar to many other families up and down the country - albeit with a few more unique elements thrown in which take their historic German roots into account.
