Queen Elizabeth Arrives in Sandringham for Christmas
Queen Elizabeth II arrived in Sandringham for her annual Christmas break on Friday morning and was all smiles as she was photographed getting off the train.

The Queen has arrived. In Sandringham, that is, for the royal family's annual Christmas holiday celebration.
Her Royal Highness was photographed on Friday, December 20, stepping off the train from London at King's Lynn railway station. Queen Elizabeth II takes the train in from London's King's Cross station every year to enjoy her Christmas break at Sandringham House in King's Lynn, England.
The Queen looked bright and happy in a warm, pale pink coat. She protected herself from the chill air, covering her head in a baby blue and light pink patterned head scarf, and carried a simple, classic black hand bag and matching, shiny black shoes. Take a look at the royal ensemble below:
The Queen was flanked by aides, amid reports that her husband, Prince Philip, has been admitted to a hospital in London to undergo treatment for a pre-existing condition.
Still, the Queen appeared to be in good spirits and quite excited for the holidays.
Now, as always, yass, Queen.
