The King has always had an affinity with Norfolk due to Sandringham, the Norfolk royal residence. 

The Sandringham Estate has been a private home for the British Royal Family since 1862 when it was bought by Queen Victoria for her son, the future King Edward VII. 

The Royal Family has a long-standing connection to the Sandringham Estate, and they have spent many Christmases there for generations. It is a beloved country retreat and an important part of their family history.

The estate has been passed down through generations, and now the King has inherited the Sandringham Estate, further strengthening his connection with Norfolk. The King has said he will continue with the tradition and spend Christmas at Sandringham, just as his mother did, and her father before her.

The King has visited various parts of Norfolk over the years, both in his capacity as the Prince of Wales and for personal reasons. Some of the places he has visited include:

Holkham Hall: The estate is known for its agricultural innovations, something the King is particularly interested in given his passion for organic farming and sustainable agriculture.

Norwich: When the King was a Prince he made many visits to the city of Norwich. In the past, he has attended various events and functions there, including visits to the Cathedral, local businesses, and community organisations.

King's Lynn: As part of his royal duties as a Prince, the King visited the seaport and market town of King's Lynn. He has attended events and visited many local businesses in the area.

The King once made a visit to the White Horse pub in the Broads Village of Upton. While he was there he poured himself a Woodforde’s Wherry and picked up a loyalty card so he could pay less for his drinks in the future.

He's also known to visit the Royal Norfolk Show, Norwich’s School of Environmental Sciences, Houghton Hall and the Sandringham Flower Show.
