The Royal Family's Christmas plans have been revealed as they hope for happiness, good health and quality time with loved ones - but there is a notable absence
Despite being the world's most famous family, the royals' Christmas wish list is surprisingly simple: happiness, good health and quality time with loved ones. Queen Elizabeth II has always cherished having her family around her during the festive season.
King Charles III's marriage to Queen Camilla has brought together a relatable blended family dynamic, with five grandchildren from his sons – Prince George, Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis, Prince Archie, and Princess Lilibet, reports the Daily Record. "Throw in the Tindalls' three plus Beatrice and Eugenie's kids, and it will be chaos – a Christmas dominated by children," says Royal expert Duncan Larcombe. "But kids are a great healer and a great distraction. After the strain caused by the King and Kate's health battles, the royals will focus on making it a really fun and enchanting Christmas for them. They'll welcome some light relief, and the children will provide that.
This year's Royal Christmas is set to be overshadowed by the absence of some family members, with a palace insider sharing, "I'm sure it'll play on the King's mind that he's unlikely to see Archie and Lilibet, who are expected to remain in California. The whole Harry scenario will loom large over the royals. He's a very lively character so he's very much missed, but it's difficult for the family to trust him.
Prince Harry has revealed details about his father's religious practices, affirming King Charles's unwavering commitment to his faith with plans to attend church on Christmas Eve. Royal expert Robert disclosed the subtle changes within Royal traditions since the advent of King Charles's reign. Adjustments in Royal holiday customs continue, with a change from the previous long-standing practice at Sandringham. In contrast to his late mother's tradition of staying until February to honour her father, the King, along with the Queen, are planning a Balmoral retreat instead.
