The controversial board game Queen Elizabeth banned the royal family from playing during Christmas

Queen Elizabeth II reportedly imposed a blanket ban on playing Monopoly at the palace during Christmas because it quickly descends into chaos.

According to the Royal Family Channel on YouTube, Her Majesty no longer lets the royal family play the controversial board game as it causes "too many arguments" and the festivities become "vicious".

In a clip titled Royal Rule Book: The Royal Family's Strangest Rules, it is claimed the Queen's son Prince Andrew admitted Monopoly is not allowed inside the palace walls during the festive season.

"The royals love a good game, but monopoly is off the cards," the video claims. "Prince Andrew said it is banned as it gets too vicious."

As reported in Marie Claire, the Duke of York was given Monopoly as a gift in 2008 but was unable to accept the game due to the rule.

Prince Andrew was presented with the board game while visiting the Leeds Building Society's Albion Street headquarters and politely declined, telling guests the royal family is not allowed to play it at home.

"However, Andrew had to politely decline the game as he reportedly revealed: 'We are not allowed to play Monopoly at home'."

The Daily Telegraph also reported Andrew explained the game caused arguments within the family, as "it gets too vicious".

The Queen plans to host Christmas at Sandringham Estate in Norfolk this year, after the monarch spent the festive season at home with the late Duke of Edinburgh in 2020.

This year will mark the first Christmas the Queen will ring in without Prince Philip by her side, since his death in April.

All of the royal family is set to join Her Majesty at Sandringham except for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who are expected to stay at their California home for Christmas.
