Dazzling photos show royal castles and palaces decorated for Christmas

The tree was sourced from the nearby Windsor Great Park and will be replanted after the Christmas display closes.

The Queen Mary's Dolls' House in Windsor Castle was designed between 1921 and 1924 as a "gift to the nation" from Queen Mary following World War I.

The doll house — often called the largest and most famous in the world — replicates an aristocratic Edwardian home and has electricity, working elevators, and running water.

To commemorate its 100th anniversary, the doll house has been decorated for Christmas for the first time with a miniature 1920s-style Christmas tree and garlands.

The staircase leads to the State Apartments, which are open for the public to visit.

A Nordmann Fir Christmas tree was erected in the crimson drawing room, which the royal family uses for official entertaining.

Buckingham Palace is decorated — but there aren't any pictures available.

A palace spokesperson told Business Insider that imagery of the interior decoration hasn't been released since the palace is closed to the public.

They said there were Christmas trees, garlands, and other festive flowers in the palace, the official London residence of the royals.

The photo above shows an event on December 11 at the palace, without any obvious decoration.

The palace is undergoing a £369 million ($466 million) refurbishment, which will see the royal household closed to state visits until 2027.

A 15-foot-high tree was erected in the Great Gallery, the largest room in the palace.

The room is adorned with portraits of legendary kings of Scotland.

The Throne Room is used for receptions, state banquets, and other formal events.

The tree was decorated predominantly with red baubles and ribbons.

Staff members can be seen adding the finishing touches to the display.

The London residence, which remains the primary residence of King Charles III and his wife, Queen Camilla, also got a festive makeover in the run up to Christmas.

The Queen welcomed children to Clarence House to help decorate the Christmas tree in the household's library.

Highgrove is in the English countryside some 85 miles west of London.

The two nutcrackers, which stand at over 10 feet tall, have been placed outside the Orchard Room, the estate's dedicated entertaining space.

The tree is in the Ante Room and will be visible to the public who visit Highgrove's gardens during the festive period.

Staff members can be seen decorating the tree beyond the windows.
