In one of her videos, Christina recorded herself wearing a fancy yellow dress with jewels and a crown on her head.
She walks along the bridge with her hair blowing in the wind with the gothic window of her castle and two towers in the background.
Christina, whose face is even imprinted on one of the walls of the castle, explained that a person's room reflects their personality and then she uploaded a video of her bedroom, which has a large bed with gothic bedding with a large window and a gaudy curtain and a fireplace for heating.

Only one thing Christina lacks in her castle: Internet.
"The Wi-Fi in the castle is so bad, so you have to shout anything to be heard," she said.
