BBC bags very special guest for festive special
Countryfile has received a very special invitation to visit Highgrove Gardens this Christmas. Highgrove Gardens surround the private residence of Their Majesties King Charles III and Queen Camilla.
Matt Baker, Margherita Taylor, and Adam Henson will meet staff from His Majesty’s charity, The King’s Foundation, as they transform it into a festive wonderland each Christmas, all while staying true to His Majesty’s passion for nature, organic gardening and sustainability.
Matt joins Highgrove’s head gardener to harvest The King’s Brussels sprouts and meets students taking part in The King’s Foundation education programmes using British timber.
Matt also joins King Charles III for a conversation about his commitment to the preservation of heritage crafts.
Adam will join a local farmer shepherding his Shropshire sheep onto the estate’s wildflower meadow for grazing. To finish the episode, we get to taste a Highgrove Christmas, as the Royal Chef prepares a delicious feast of turkey and Brussels sprouts.
Tune in to Countryfile Christmas at Highgrove on BBC One on Sunday 22 December from 5.30pm, audiences can also catch up on BBC iPlayer.
