No Royal Family Christmas is complete without a picnic at church followed by meeting members of the public.
In keeping with a long-standing tradition, King Charles and Queen Camilla led the royals on Monday as they headed to the Church of St. Mary Magdalene in Norfolk near the royal residence at Sandringham. They were joined by several family members, including Kate Middleton and Prince William along with their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

Fergie, as the Duchess of York is known, has not joined the royal family's Christmas walk to church since the early 1990s, with the former couple separating in 1992 and divorcing in 1996. However, Prince Andrew and Fergie have remained friendly, and even continue to communicate with each other. Some. We live together at the Royal Lodge in Windsor.
