Page 2 of 13 It has been said that the Queen reveals her superstitious nature whenever she flies overseas. When Her Majesty leaves London for a tour of America in May, the cabin in which the royal party will travel will have been decorated with the Queen's personal silver St. Christopher medal. In reality, this is likely a sign of the monarch's deep religious faith rather than a hard and fast example of her being superstitious. 
While most of us make sure to remove our seasonal decorations by Twelth Night (the evening of the 5th of January), the Queen decrees that the royal decorations not be removed until February, this being when she officially departs Sandringham for London following her extended Christmas and New Year break. Prince Charles is similarly dismissive of the Twelfth Night tradition, it being claimed he also continues to display his Christmas cards until the second month of the New Year. 
When Prince Charles unexpectedly arrived at a private dinner hosted by the Queen some years ago, the monarch immediately realised that there would now be thirteen at the table. Cue much panic and the decision to split the dinner guests onto two separate tables.
