When you’re the monarch of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, you can create all sorts of rules. Why not impose a rule that allows you to enjoy your favorite pastime in winter? Sandringham time had a short life but delighted King Edward VII during his reign. It allotted him an extra half hour of hunting in the winter months. There was a bit of confusion across the domain, though, as this time zone was only observed at the royal estate of Sandringham, Windsor Castle, and Balmoral Castle.
