Looking for holiday decor inspiration? Turn your attention to the British royal residences. Each year, Windsor Castle, Buckingham Palace, Clarence House, and more are fully decked out for the season with mammoth pine trees, stunning ornaments, and twinkling string lights. It only makes sense; the British royals practically invented the modern celebration of Christmas, popularizing Christmas trees and sending Christmas cards. But even if you don't own a palace, you can still bring some of the royal holiday spirit into your own home. Here, find the monarchy's best Christmas decorations, and some accessible look-alike options.
