Prince William and Kate Middleton were spotted leaving the Christmas Day
morning church service at St Mary Magdalene Church with their three children.
Prince William and Kate Middleton, who celebrated the day at their Norfolk
abode, Anmer Hall, were pictured waving as they drove home for their Christmas
lunch.
William
wore a shirt, jacket and tie while Kate, seated in the passenger seat, sported
a checked jacket, a roll neck jumper and a feathered hat. Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince
Louis could be seen in the back of the car
following the service.
Charlotte,
wearing a button-up coat, could be seen smiling as she sat in-between her
brothers. Mum Kate accessorized with her Catherine Zoraida leaf
earrings. George and Charlotte first made their debuts at the Christmas
Day church service in Sandringham in 2019.
The
Cambridges have been joined by members of the Middleton family for Christmas,
including Kate’s parents.
Prince
Charles and Camilla attended the morning church service at St George’s Chapel
along with the Earl and Countess of Wessex, and the Duke and Duchess of
Gloucester.
It is
understood the Queen’s absence from the service is a personal choice and
follows a precautionary approach seen over the last six months.
Her
Majesty is spending Christmas at Windsor Castle for the second year running
after canceling her annual family gathering at Sandringham amid rising
COVID-19 cases.
It
comes as the Duke and Duchess shared a personal message on social media on
Christmas morning.
It
read: “This Christmas will be
different to what so many of us had planned. From those who are alone or having
to isolate away from loved ones, to the incredible people supporting our NHS
and caring for those most in need – we are thinking of you. W & C.”
The
Duchess also wowed viewers as her carol concert was broadcast on ITV on
Christmas Eve. Kate showcased her musical talents as she accompanied singer Tom
Walker on the piano at Westminster Abbey.
Tom
said of her star turn: “I thought
she absolutely smashed the performance; it’s not easy to just jump
behind a piano with a bunch of musicians you’ve never played with before and
record live takes to camera, but she completely nailed it.”
