Festive Cheer at Royal Family’s Christmas Celebrations

The festive Christmas celebrations of the royal family have kicked off in style, with King Charles and Queen Camilla leading the way.

The royal couple, accompanied by his trusted equerry, were seen attending a traditional Christmas Eve church service this morning.

Their next stop will be the Norfolk royal estate, where they will be joined by their loved ones for the holiday festivities.

King Charles appeared in high spirits as he exchanged well-wishes, cheerful waves, and engaged in conversations with dog owners on their way to St. Mary Magdalene Church in Sandringham.

Queen Camilla, Prince Anne, and Sir Timothy Lawrence were also part of the entourage accompanying the monarch.

The crowds gathered at the Sandringham estate welcomed the royals warmly, capturing the moment on their phones.

Pre-Lieutenant-Colonel Jonathan Thompson played a key role in ensuring the safe arrival of the king and senior royals at the church.

While the Prince and Princess of Wales, along with other senior royals, are expected to join the celebrations at the North Norfolk estate today, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will be notably absent from the festivities, as they do not celebrate December 25 at their Los Angeles home.

A source close to a royal insider disclosed that Lieutenant-Colonel Jonathan Thompson is considered an adopted son of King Charles and will be attending today's party with the royal family.

Apart from his duties to protect and serve the king, Thompson is valued for his advisory role within the royal circle.

With Prince Harry no longer a part of the royal family, speculation arises about how Meghan Markle will be spending her Christmas.

Known for her love of food and cooking aspirations, many wonder what culinary delights she may be preparing for the occasion.

Will she be showcasing her cooking skills or opt for a catered meal or dining out at a local restaurant?

Meghan, who considers herself a foodie, has been known to purchase pre-cooked meals from upscale markets despite her proclaimed culinary interests.

According to Tom Bauer, her cooking expertise may be limited to roast chicken and blender soups.

It remains to be seen whether the couple will embrace a traditional English Christmas dinner or opt for a Californian-themed feast, possibly shared with Meghan's mother, Doria.

Having relocated to the United States in 2020, Meghan and Prince Harry are creating new traditions and memories with their family.

Following a recent family trip to Costa Rica, the couple is cherishing special moments with their children.

Speaking at Variety's Power of Women event, Meghan expressed her joy in decorating the Christmas tree with her little ones, emphasizing the importance of creating lasting memories with her growing family.
