Duchess Catherine: This is how the Christmas party will be like the Royals

Duchess Catherine, Queen Elizabeth & Co.
With royal charm! So the Christmas party will be like with the Royals

Duchess Catherine, 39, is not just a royal style icon. The wife of Prince William, 39, knows what matters at events and events. Just like Queen Elizabeth, 95, the Royal is of course supported by a large team of experts. But it is still the wishes, ideas and concepts that interior decorators and event planners have to adhere to.

Johnny Roxburgh, who has already organized a number of celebrations for the royal family, now reveals his tips and tricks, which also prevail in the palace rooms of the royals during the Christmas season and insists on Queen Elizabeth.

Duchess Catherine and Queen Elizabeth rely on classic elements as well as unusual novelties

If you want to pass as a royal host, you should follow the following five tips from Roxburgh. It’s not just about good manners and the perfect decoration, but also about small but fine details that make the difference for Kate and Co. – and certainly also for your guests.

1. Never place the Christmas tree in a corner

The Christmas tree also plays a central role with the royals. Magnificently decorated, not only a Christmas tree adorns the halls of the palace. The party outfitter advises the Queen not to hide the tree in a corner so that the wonderfully illuminated trees are literally in the center and attract the attention of the guests. Rather, it should be clearly visible in the room and be admired from all sides.

2. Couples sit separately from each other at events in the palace

“A good host will always have a seating plan,” reveals Roxburgh one of his expert tips. Many of his top-class customers are said to prefer a U-shaped table. This means that it is possible to chat with several guests during the meal. You can also be brave and deal with the individual couples, especially at Christmas when the whole family gets together.

3. The first impression counts

As Roxburgh explains, the party doesn’t just start in the great ballroom (or living room). So that the guests get in a festive mood as soon as they enter, the outfitter relies on stylish decorations on the door. A nicely decorated wreath and some well-placed fairy lights create a warm atmosphere. “I usually prefer an iridescent royal blue, which is the trend of the season,” says the royal party expert.

Tip from the professional: It doesn’t have to be a real wreath of fir branches every year. “An artificial wreath is a warm welcome without you having to pay the cost of a real wreath every year.”

4. Do not serve the holiday dinner on the table

Radiant decoration and a well-thought-out seating arrangement may be important. But at a royal-style party, as at all other events, one thing is at the top of the list: outstanding food. Of course, it depends on fresh ingredients and tasty preparation. But when it comes to the Royal Event Planner, serving up also plays an important role. Handing the platter and bowl back and forth? Unthinkable with the Royals. Roxburgh therefore recommends a buffet station where the party guests can help themselves.

5. The right drinks are crucial, but …

If you want to offer your guests a lavish party, you should have the right drinks ready. A good wine with dinner or a fine champagne toast are of course a matter of taste and should be tailored to the party and guests. What is an absolute no-go with the royals, however, are drinks that are served in the wrong glasses. Martini belong in martini glasses, according to the credo. “The ultimate host also impresses guests by serving drinks on a drinks trolley in front of their eyes,” explains Roxburgh.
