Royal Christmas traditions in Victorian times (dramatisation)
Charles Dickens presents a topical chat show about Christmas time in the Victorian era. Queen Victoria and Prince Albert tell us about Christmas in the royal household, where many Christmas traditions were started. The tradition of Christmas trees was brought to Britain by Prince Albert, and Christmas carols and turkey dinners were also enjoyed by the Victorian royal family. The people of Britain followed their example, which is why the traditions exist today.
