Britain’s King Charles on Thursday hosted hosted President Maia Sandu of Moldova at his Sandringham Estate, giving the public a rare peek inside one of the royal family’s favorite residences.
The leaders shook hands for photos in the saloon, Sandringham House’s main reception room. A fireplace is seen in the background along with large plants placed throughout the room.
The Indian prime minister gifted the King a tree to be planted this autumn, inspired by the environmental initiative he launched, which encourages people to plant a tree in tribute to their mothers.
The Sandringham-Christmas connection dates back to 1957when the late monarch delivered her first ever televised Christmas message to the nation.
