King Charles Hosts Grand Sandringham Christmas While Princess Kate Admits ‘I Really Shouldn’t Have Worn This’
King Charles is preparing to welcome 45 royals to Sandringham for a grand and unforgettable Christmas celebration this year, reported by the Mirror. The gathering will uphold cherished royal traditions, including the iconic family walk to church on Christmas morning—a moment that often captures the public’s attention.
One such memorable walk saw the royals making headlines for their impeccably coordinated dark green ensembles, though it also brought a rare wardrobe regret from Princess Kate. The candid confession left fans admiring her honesty and grace.
Princess Kate, who looked stunning in a grey Catherine Walker coat paired with a green hat, heels, and bag, later admitted she wasn’t entirely happy with her outfit choice. While speaking to a 19-year-old fan, Rachel Anvil, Kate confessed that the heavy coat was not ideal for the unexpectedly warm weather that day.
Rachel’s mother later shared the encounter with Metro, saying: “Kate was talking to my daughter about clothes and how she was feeling too hot, she said ‘I really shouldn’t have worn this’, it was like speaking to a friend.” Despite her wardrobe misstep, Kate’s look received widespread praise, further cementing her status as a royal fashion icon.
While the Sandringham gathering promises to be a festive and elegant affair, there will be some notable absentees. Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, are not expected to attend the celebration. According to a source close to the couple, they will remain in the United States for Christmas, reportedly because they did not receive an invitation to join the royal family at Sandringham.
The absence of Harry and Meghan continues to underscore the ongoing tensions within the royal family. Despite this, the Sandringham Christmas gathering remains a significant event, offering a blend of tradition, family unity, and moments of relatability—like Princess Kate’s candid admission—that continue to endear the royals to the public.
As King Charles hosts his first Christmas at Sandringham since ascending the throne, all eyes will be on the royal family’s festivities, ensuring this year’s celebration will be one to remember.
