A Royal Christmas – and some very unusual photographs

Join Brittani Barger, Moniek Bloks and Lydia Starbuck as they talk about what makes a really good royal Christmas portrait. They also look ahead to all the excitement still to come in the regal festive season. Join them on the latest Royal Central podcast as they look at how the royal Christmas is unfolding across Europe in 2019.
