The Royals have traditionally shown themselves to the public on their Christmas walk in Sandringham. Even Prince Andrew was there.
King Charles III (74) has completed his first public Christmas walk as a monarch. He and his family showed up to Royal fans on the way to the service in Sandringham. At his side was the king’s wife Camilla (75) and Kate, the Princess of Wales (40), heir to the throne Prince William (40) and the three children of the two. For little Prince Louis, 4, it’s the first time he’s joined his siblings Prince George, 9, and Princess Charlotte, 7, for the walk.
Also present were Prince Edward (58) and his wife Sophie of Wessex (57) as well as Zara (41) and Mike Tindall (44). Princess Beatrice (34) and her sister Princess Eugenie (32) and their husbands were also there. Surprisingly, the disgraced Prince Andrew (62) was also seen with his family. The Duke of York had to withdraw from the public eye in 2019 over his alleged involvement in the Epstein scandal.
First Christmas without the Queen
The Royals spend Christmas in Sandringham for the first time in three years after the Corona forced break. The royal family last met at the Norfolk estate in 2019 for their traditional Christmas celebration. Now Charles and Co. are celebrating there for the first time without Prince Philip (1921-2021) and Queen Elizabeth II (1926-2022), who died in September.
