12 British Royal Christmas Traditions That Will Surprise You

In recent years, it has become tradition for Princes William and Harry to play a Christmas Eve game of soccer alongside workers from the Sandringham Estate. The brothers usually wear the socks of their favorite teams (Aston Villa for William and Arsenal for Harry), and of course, there's usually a bit of trash talk going down: several years ago, William shouted to the referee about his brother: "Give him yellow, give him yellow — backchat!" Other family members often watch, including Kate Middleton, and in 2014, her brother James played on Harry's team.
