Prince and Princess of Wales Opt for Quiet Holiday Tradition in Norfolk
Prince William and Princess Kate have chosen to skip the pre-Christmas lunch at Buckingham Palace this year, opting instead to stay in Norfolk as they prepare for their traditional Christmas celebrations at Sandringham.
Sources confirm that the Prince and Princess of Wales are focusing on quality family time, sticking to their long-standing holiday tradition. The couple, known for their close-knit approach to the festive season, appears to be saving their holiday cheer for the big day itself.
Meanwhile, King Charles is hosting his largest festive gathering in years, welcoming around 45 relatives to Buckingham Palace. Today’s lunch offers an opportunity for family members not attending the main Sandringham festivities to reconnect. The event marks a return to Buckingham Palace after two years at Windsor Castle, echoing the late Queen Elizabeth’s cherished traditions.
Notably absent from the gathering is Prince Andrew, who is under scrutiny for his alleged ties to Chinese spy Yang Tengbo. Advised by his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson to maintain a low profile, Andrew has opted to stay at Royal Lodge, where the former couple plans to celebrate Christmas quietly.
As the royal family navigates a season of reunions and challenges, William and Kate’s decision underscores their dedication to preserving a peaceful and joyful holiday atmosphere for their family in Norfolk.
