Kate Middleton, accompanied by her husband Prince William and their three children, George, Charlotte, and Louis, joined King Charles and Queen Camilla at a traditional Christmas morning walk in Norfolk. The royals were met with enthusiasm from onlookers who had gathered since yesterday evening to show their support.
The family’s appearance comes after a challenging year for the royal family, including Prince Charles’s cancer treatment and Kate’s chemotherapy. However, despite the difficulties, the family has maintained a strong public presence, with Prince Charles recently completing a tour of New Zealand and Australia, and Kate attending high-profile events such as Wimbledon’s Men’s Singles Final in July.
Kate had previously hosted a carol service at Sandringham, where she reflected on her difficult year and spoke about the importance of empathy. The family has also taken steps to maintain a sense of normalcy during the holiday season, including skipping their traditional Christmas lunch for royal staff.
Notably absent from this year’s Christmas celebration was Prince Andrew, who had been excused due to recent revelations surrounding his association with a Chinese diplomat accused of spying.
