The royal holiday season is in full swing, and with The King's annual pre-Christmas lunch taking place on Thursday, Dec. 19, fans are usually treated to glimpses of the Royal Family as they arrive at Buckingham Palace. This year, however, Prince William, Kate Middleton and their family have made the surprising move to opt out of the festive gathering.
According to multiple outlets, the couple—who are parents to Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6—decided to skip the traditional lunch party and make an early escape to their country home, Anmer Hall, in Norfolk, England.
