It's time to start thinking about dusting down the Christmas decorations and bringing in the tree in time for the big day. And today on the Advent Calendar, it's all about royals and trees. Here are five famous moments royals got Christmas tree ready.

In 1972, Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands made a trip to Goslar in what was then West Germany and his hosts gave him a Christmas tree as a gift. He was photographed bringing it home by plane afterwards
