King Edward's lavish Christmas entertainments and costly royal train
King Edward VII begins a country house visit spree for Christmas while lavishly entertained by noble hosts. A special royal train costing $800,000, gifted by the London and Northwestern Railway, carries the king and family but he always pays their fares. Sir Ernest Cassell, a banker, donates $2 million to charity chosen by the king, who later inspires talks of a future peerage and notable financial dealings.
