While Princess Kate's Together at Christmas concert, The King's Christmas speech and the Royal Family's annual walk to church on December 25 have become treasured holiday traditions, there's one festive event that touches my heart every year.
Since 2005, Queen Camilla has welcomed seriously ill children and their families to Clarence House to help decorate her tree, meet Santa and his reindeer, and receive gifts. The children are supported by Helen & Douglas House and Roald Dahl’s Marvellous Children’s Charity, two charities of which The Queen serves as patron, and this year, there was a new guest to help lift the spirits at the party.
