The Best Photos of the Royal Family at Sandringham on Christmas
It hasn't been the easiest year for the British royal family. In January, King Charles and Kate Middleton were hospitalized within days of each other, and shortly thereafter, the two royals both announced cancer diagnoses. While the Princess of Wales shared in September that she had completed chemotherapy, King Charles is still in treatment. Last month, Prince William revealed 2024 has "been dreadful," adding, "It's probably been the hardest year in my life." Despite the turbulent times, the royal family is ending 2024 on a high note, celebrating Christmas together at Sandringham.
This morning, numerous members of the House of Windsor stepped out to attend the Church of St Mary Magdalene. As they walk to and from Christmas service, they greet the members of the public who come out to wish them a Merry Christmas. King Charles and Queen Camilla led the royals, joined by the Prince and Princess of Wales and their three children, Charles's siblings Princess Anne and Prince Edward, and Princess Margaret's children and grandchildren. Here, see all the best photos of the royals at their annual Christmas walk:
