Let’s rewind for a moment. When you were five years old, did you have your very own Christmas tree in your bedroom? Fast forward to today—now that you’re all grown up, do you have your own tree? Or, let’s be honest, have you just slapped a red ribbon on a plant from the farmer’s market and called it a day? Well, here’s the kicker: Prince George and Princess Charlotte each have their very own Christmas trees. Yes, you read that right.
Here’s the scoop: Carole Middleton, the kids’ grandmother, let The Telegraph in on a little family tradition. Every year, both George and Charlotte get their very own Christmas tree while the rest of us are sharing a potted cactus with our roommates. Carole explained that each child gets their own tree so they can "decorate it themselves." And guess what? When the royal tots visit their grandma at Bucklebury Manor in West Berkshire, where Carole lives with her husband Michael, they each get their own room, too. "That makes me sound as though I live in a mansion, doesn’t it?" Carole joked.
A Peek Into Royal Christmas Traditions
Carole Middleton, Kate’s mom, also revealed that she’s put off vacations because she doesn’t want to miss out on time with her grandkids. Can you blame her? “I’d love to travel, but then I’d miss the grandchildren,” the 63-year-old told the outlet. And it’s not just talk—Carole has reportedly taken up a job as a school crossing guard at George’s school so she can spend more time with him. Talk about dedication!

Grandma Carole’s Special Role
Carole isn’t just a grandmother who shows up for birthdays and holidays. She’s actively involved in her grandkids’ lives. According to sources, the grandparents are encouraged to be a part of the school’s daily life. There’s a schedule for various roles, and being a "lollipop lady" (or crossing guard) is one of the most popular jobs. “Carole has no airs and graces, and really gets stuck in — she is very popular with staff and pupils alike,” the source said.
At the end of the day, the real story here is this: if you’re part of the royal family, even as a toddler, you get your very own Christmas tree. Meanwhile, the rest of us? Well, we’re probably just happy to get a pair of socks from grandma—and we’ll like it, too!
