The Middletons’ Festive Christmas Plans Revealed
Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, the young members of the royal family, usually spend their Christmas at Sandringham along with the rest of the royal family.
Last year, these adorable Wales kids made a delightful appearance that thrilled royal fans when they accompanied their parents to the Christmas Day church service for the very first time.
This year, however, the plans for the Wales family's Christmas celebrations have not been officially confirmed, but it is anticipated that they will be spending the festive season at their country residence, Anmer Hall in Norfolk.
Princess Catherine shares a tight bond with her parents, Carol and Michael Middleton, who reside in Berkshire.
The decision on whether they will be spending Christmas together as a family is still up in the air.
The loving grandparents are often called upon to assist with childcare, and during the lockdown period, they missed spending quality time with their three adorable grandchildren.
Considering the uncertainties surrounding the current situation, the family of five may opt to err on the side of caution.
During the challenging times brought about by the pandemic, the trio had to adjust their Christmas plans significantly.
As a result, their grandmother, Carol Middleton, hinted at a unique solution where the little ones could virtually join Pippa Middleton's son, Arthur, for a special festive online gathering.
Grandma Carol playfully hinted that little Arthur, the first child of Catherine's sister Pippa and Arthur Michael William Matthews, might engage in a video call with his cousins George, Charlotte, and Louis on Christmas Eve.
Carol Middleton, known for her playful nature, enjoys a special Christmas tradition with her grandchildren.
She and her husband, Michael Middleton, bring out an adorable gnome decoration cherished by their grandchildren.
When the children stay at their Buckleberry home, the grandparents hide the gnomes around the manor for the kids to discover.
Despite her fondness for immaculate Christmas decorations, Carol loves to inject some fun and laughter into the festivities, emphasizing the importance of not taking Christmas too seriously.
Before retiring from her business, Carol operated the Children's Party Planning Firm Party Pieces.
She recently shared ideas on how families separated by the pandemic can still celebrate cherished traditions together during the holiday season.
One suggestion from Carol involved cousins organizing their treats for Santa over a video call, fostering a sense of togetherness despite physical distances.
Although the possibility of a face-to-face meeting between George, Charlotte, Louis, and Arthur seems uncertain this Christmas, they may still get to uphold a special tradition together through an online connection.
The Middletons have announced their full immersion into the Christmas spirit, gearing up for the festive season with their family.
Despite not having spent Christmas Eve or Christmas Day with her parents for several years, Catherine's strong bond with them remains evident through their shared joy and laughter at various events.
An insider revealed that the Wales family typically visits the Middletons later in the festive season, citing the late Queen's age as a reason for the arrangement in previous years.
However, since 2016, the couple has decided to make Sandringham their Christmas destination every year, abandoning the practice of alternating between different family gatherings.
Going forward, the Wales family will continue the tradition of spending Christmas Eve and Christmas Day at Sandringham, ensuring a consistent celebration each year.
