The Queen has reportedly banned members of the royal family from playing Monopoly at Christmas because it’s “too vicious”.
Monopoly is a staple in families’ homes up and down the country during the festive period, and we know things can get competitive.
So we’d like to know what happens at Buckingham Palace after the roast turkey is consumed!
Why has the Queen banned Monopoly at Christmas?
Her Majesty has banned the board game because things “get too vicious” according to one very senior member of the royal family.
Newspaper, the Daily Telegraph reported in 2008 that Prince Andrew let the news slip during a visit to the Leeds Building Society’s headquarters.

He said: “We’re not allowed to play Monopoly at home. It gets too vicious.”

After recovering from a back strain, the 95-tear-old has reportedly told family members that she’s fit for the festive period.
A source told The Mirror that she’s feeling “far better”.
And, furthermore, the source said she’s “looking forward to Christmas”.
