“You do the hard work, I am very grateful”

Sandringham is the Windsors’ meeting point for Christmas. Charles III has taken over from his mother, Elizabeth II, in this tradition and has brought together the princes of Wales, their children and their brothers at his country residence in Norfolk. This year was more Christmassy than ever, since the sovereign and his daughter-in-law, Kate Middleton, have been immersed in cancer processes. The main protagonist of this meeting has been Guillermo’s wife.

Every December 25, the photos of the kings, on the way to the church of Santa María Magdalena, have a family and unity scene. The Windsors play their part. Photographers capture the images. Every gesture, every sign. The absentee of the clan, Prince Andrew. Disowned and made even more invisible since his connection with a Chinese spy. Harry and Meghan, who live in their mansion in Montecito, in Los Angeles, away from these events, have also been left out of the photograph.

With a 100% look british, With a fitted bottle-green Alexander McQueen coat and matching headdress, Kate Middleton showed her smile and greeted the neighbors. Impeccable, with a plaid scarf and leather gloves, her outfit matched perfectly with her children’s, all in a harmonious range of blues.

On her journey, Kate met a young volunteer who has collaborated with an association against cancer. “You are an inspiration for all patients,” the young woman managed to tell him. Faced with these words of recognition, the Princess of Wales responded: “Thank you very much, you don’t know how many people have written to me this year, it is extraordinary. I think cancer is very present in many families.” She added: “People like you are the ones who do all the hard work, I’m very grateful.”
