Despite speculation about a possible reconciliation between Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and the King, the Sussexes are not joining the royal family for the annual Christmas celebrations in Norfolk.
The 75-year-old monarch and Queen Camilla were accompanied by the Prince and Princess of Wales and their children—Prince George, Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis, and other senior royals—for the morning service at St Mary Magdalene Church near the Sandringham estate.
Following the church service and greetings with well-wishers, the royal family is expected to return to Sandringham House for a traditional feast. Royal Christmases typically involve greeting people outside the church and a family lunch with a festive meal.
King Charles is scheduled to address the nation and the Commonwealth in his annual festive speech on Christmas Day. The broadcast, set for 3 pm, was recorded in the Centre Room in Buckingham Palace, leading to the iconic balcony of the royal residence.
