Many Britons were present to see King Charles III, Queen Camilla and even William and Kate accompanied by their three children, reports BFMTV, Wednesday December 25.
On the sidelines of Christmas mass at the Church of Saint Mary Magdalene in Sandringham, in the county of Norfolk, the British royal family took the opportunity to greet the many admirers who came to meet them, reports BFMTV, Wednesday December 25. Some Britons had been there for hours, some even camping the night of December 24-25.
King Charles III and Queen Camilla were present. Kate and William were accompanied by their three children: George and Louis, aged 11 and 6 respectively, and Charlotte, 9 years old. Princess Anne and Prince Edward also greeted the crowd after the church service. At odds with the British crown, Meghan and Harry, who left for the United States in 2020, are no longer taking part in these festivities.
A tradition since 1988
Since 1988, the royal family has celebrated the end of year holidays at Sandringham. This year 2024 will have been particularly trying for her: Charles III announced that he was suffering from cancer last February and Princess Kate, in March. If the king is still undergoing treatment but has gradually resumed his activities since April, Kate announced in September the end of her chemotherapy.
On Christmas Day, the British sovereign also speaks on television. This year, Charles III chose to speak from a former hospital chapel in London, whereas the pre-recorded address of the king or queen is usually delivered from a royal residence.
