This year, Christmas was marked by the absence of emblematic figures of the british royal familybut also by the arrival of new people. These newcomers attended the festivities discreetly, far from the tabloids and rumors…
Camilla Parker Bowles’ Christmas request
Every year, members of the British royal family respect the tradition established by Queen Elizabeth II: they all come together at the Sandringham Estate to spend the Christmas holidays together. On the program: exceptional family meals, a football match bringing together domestic workers, family members and residents of Sandringham and of course, the distribution of gifts.
This year again, important people were missing. We think of Queen Elizabeth II, who died in 2022. But also of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who, this year again, chose to spend the end-of-year holidays in California with their two children, Lilibet and Archie.
On the other hand, this year, exceptionally, Camilla Parker Bowles insisted that her two children participate in the festivities.

The public was able to find Kate Middleton during her annual walkabout on the way to the traditional Christmas mass at the Sainte-Marie-Madeleine church. Charles, Camilla, William… all the members of the family were together but according to the tabloid HELLO! two people chose to enter the church discreetly. Tom Parker Bowles et Laura Lopesthe two children of Camilla Parker Bowles, secretly attended the mass. Proof that this year, they spent Christmas with their mother.
In a recent interview with The Telegraph, food critic Tom revealed that his mother personally asked him to go to Sandringham this year: “My mother said, ‘I’d love you to come, I didn’t spend Christmas with you for a long time’”. He added: “The last two years have been very difficult for them. The older you get, the more you become aware of mortality, especially with illnesses and everything that goes with it.”
Laura Lopes specializes in art. After running the Space Gallery in London, she co-founded Eleven, an art gallery in Belgravia in 2005. Aged 46, she is married to chartered accountant Harry Lopes with whom she has three children: Eliza , 16 years old, and twins, Gus and Louis, 15 years old.
