The Royal Family has many rules and traditions that have been followed for centuries, but one of the most bizarre ones is the time zone that one of The King's homes used to follow
The Royal Family have had a number of unique traditions to follow throughout the generations - whether that is how they are banned from saying certain words to allegedly once weighing themselves at Christmas time to ensure they had been 'well fed'.
The Sandringham Estate is among the most renowned dwellings of Her Majesty available today. Nestled in the Norfolk area, glorified as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, it's typically where she spends her holiday season.While the King visits the house mainly at Christmas and for short breaks away throughout the year now, it used to be lived in all year round by her predecessors, mainly as it was an ideal location for hunting and shooting.
While there were whispers that Edward implemented this odd rule because his wife had a talent for being late to events, experts agree that the primary reason was to optimise the use of the shooting facilities. Among the many residences on the Sandringham Estate that hold sentimental value for the Royal Family, one humble home holds a special place in The Queen's heart.
