The Royal Family's Christmas rule Prince George, Charlotte and Louis don’t have to follow at Carole Middleton’s home

Prince William, Prince Louis of Wales, Prince George of Wales, Catherine, Princess of Wales and Princess Charlotte of Wales attend the Christmas Morning Service at Sandringham Church on December 25, 2024.

Every family does Christmas slightly differently and although you’d think the Royal Family and Middletons would be very aligned with their traditional celebrations, there is a key difference. Although the Prince and Princess of Wales, George, Charlotte and Louis have marked the festive season in Norfolk most years recently, they have spent Christmas with Carole and Michael multiple times in the past.

When they’re at Sandringham House, the Waleses attend church with the rest of the royals before they enjoy their Christmas dinner. According to former royal chef Darren McGrady, the royal children don’t eat their roast turkey and trimmings with the adults.
