Princess Kate’s family clearly have happy memories of Christmases, both past and present. A regular fixture at walks to church at Sandringham, Michael and Carole Middleton and their children Pippa Matthews and James Middleton take Christmas very seriously. “Now we’re adults we always make sure that we spend time as a wider family so that the cousins get to spend time together, especially around Christmas,” James Middleton told The Sunday Times.
Carole Middleton revealed their very normal Christmas traditions when speaking to The Telegraph in 2018. “Generally, we got to church in the morning, then a walk, open a few presents with more in the evening,” she revealed. “Then champagne and smoked salmon for lunch, and the main Christmas meal in the evening––but with young grandchildren, maybe we’ll move that forward and have it at lunchtime.”
