Prince William reveals his favorite Sandringham Christmas tradition

The British Royal Family has experienced a complicated 2024. In February, Carlos III announced his diagnosis and, in March, Kate He also reported his illness. After turbulent months where information about the state of health of the monarch and the Princess of Wales arrived in dribs and drabs, Prince William’s wife finally announced in September that she had completed her chemotherapy treatment. Now, at this Christmas time, when Kate seems to be feeling much better, the first in the line of succession revealed what tradition they follow to the letter.

During his visit to the Mercia Regiment Battalion, of which he is chief colonel, Prince Harry’s brother confessed between laughter and informal chats what is one of his favorite moments during these Christmas holidays. “We talked about what he was doing for Christmas and he said he enjoys walking his dogs in Sandringham“, revealed Leah St Clair-Lewis, member of WRVS Services Welfare, through the magazine Hello.

Likewise, during his conversation with Leah, Prince William revealed how many people he will meet for Christmas. “He told me there would be 45 people for Christmas. He didn’t specify if it would be just for one day or for the whole week, but they must need a very long table“he confessed.

It should be remembered that William and Kate did not attend the traditional Christmas lunch organized by Charles III at Buckingham Palace last Thursday. The reason for their absence is that the princes of Wales were already in Norfolk with their three children, who are already on school holidays, as revealed by the magazine Hello. The one who was with Charles III was Queen Camilla, who in recent weeks raised concern about chest pneumonia.
