Halloween is over and I’m officially turning to the holidays, so consider this a warning to all my loved ones: It’s all Yule Logs and Jingle Bells from here on out. But really person takes the cozy season more seriously than the British royal family, who usually celebrate Christmas together in a posh castle. But 2024 is looking a little different than usual thanks to unprecedented drama brewing among the royal family. Let’s settle down collectively.

The Royals head to Sandringham

The royal family almost always spends Christmas at Sandringham, in the aforementioned posh Norfolk castle, which is almost definitely haunted. Typically, the entire party goes to the estate, including King Charles and his children (and their children), as well as Charles’ siblings (Prince Edward, Princess Anne, and Prince Andrew) and their extended families. But uh, this year…

Prince William and Kate Middleton throw rival party

Apparently, Wills and Kate are planning to throw a more “middle class” “rival” Christmas party (quick moment for ) at their country home in what is not at all dramatically portrayed as a “coup d’état » against King Charles.

“A bit of social media showing the family eating chocolate and watching TV would be a very effective way of showing how normal Christmas is at Anmer Hall compared to what we hear about at Sandringham,” a former courtier said recently to the newspaper. Daily Beast.

Meanwhile, a friend added that ‘Kate always found Christmas Eve presents weird. It will definitely be removed when they officially run things. I imagine this will continue this year at Sandringham in one form or another, but everything will be much more relaxed and have a middle class flavor at Anmer Hall. You can bet your bottom dollar that they will make good gifts for each other and for the kids on Christmas Day.

They also noted that there had actually “always been a slightly secretive rival Christmas party at (William and Kate’s) house, but it will be much more obvious this year.” If they publish photos, it will be an official coup attempt.”

Wow, extremely seated for this drama.

Kate and William aren’t here for royal Christmas traditions

Part of the reason Kate and William want to skip Christmas at Sandringham and do their own thing? They allegedly think family traditions are obsolete. As a communications executive who previously worked with the royal couple told the newspaper Daily Beast“William and Kate have created an incredibly successful brand by being normal and boring, but crazy royal Christmas customs threaten all that. This is particularly damaging to their reputation, because Christmas is the only time when everyone in the whole country pays attention to members of the royal family, and this risks being overshadowed by stories about these strange, elitist, aristocratic habits. It’s no surprise that they want to change their tune as they prepare to take the throne themselves.”

Prince William also refuses to date his half-brother

Another reason Prince William probably won’t be at Christmas? Because Queen Camilla will undoubtedly invite her children, including Tom Parker-Bowles…

A source said the Daily Beast that “It’s best to avoid mentioning Tom in William’s presence” and Wills is nervous about Tom’s “rather shady lifestyle as Mayfair”. good living.»

But the Christmas march is almost definitely underway

It’s unclear who is willing to attend, but royals rarely miss their annual Christmas morning stroll to a local church. This is usually one of the rare occasions when royal children (Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis and Prince George) make public appearances.

But don’t get your hopes up for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle

The couple haven’t attended royal Christmases in a minute and are still in the middle of a seemingly never-ending feud with the family. On top of that, Harry is worried about his family’s safety in England and is currently engaged in a legal battle over it. That said, Rumor has it that Harry’s uncle, Earl Spencer, invited the Sussexes to stay for Christmas, so there East lucky they could be in England… but not with the royal family.

“Kay, on that note, I’m going to decorate a tree or something.
