The Royal Family completed their annual Christmas walk. On the way to the service at St Mary Magdalene Church in Sandringham, King Charles III showed up. (74) and Queen Camilla (76) as well as numerous other family members were in a good mood as they greeted the waiting fans.
The monarch and his wife appeared tone-on-tone: Charles wore a camel-colored wool coat with the gray suit, Camilla opted for a beige coat, beige boots as well as a beige hat and a brown handbag.
Also there were Prince William (41) and Princess Kate (41) as well as their three children Prince George (10), Princess Charlotte (8) and Prince Louis (5). Kate stood out from the crowd in royal blue: The Princess of Wales wore a blue coat dress with a matching hat. Princess Charlotte walked hand in hand with her mother and was dressed in a forest green coat. William, George and Louis all wore dark blue suits and jackets. Five-year-old Louis walked with his father’s hand.
Shortly before the service, William and Kate shared Christmas wishes and a new picture of the three children on Instagram. “We wish everyone a Merry Christmas, from our family to yours!” it said on the black and white photo.
Also taking part in the walk were Prince Edward (59), the Duke of Edinburgh, and his wife, Duchess Sophie (58). The monarch’s youngest brother wore a gray wool coat, his wife wore a dark green wool coat with a bow and a brown hat.
Princess Anne (73), Zara (42) and Mike Tindall (45) as well as Princess Eugenie (33) can also be seen in the photos. Prince Andrew (63) and ex-wife Sarah Ferguson (64) were also there.
It is King Charles’ second Christmas since the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II (1926-2022) and the first since his coronation in May. The monarch apparently maintains many of his late mother’s Christmas traditions, such as celebrating Christmas together at Sandringham and walking to church together.
His second Christmas address will be broadcast on Christmas Day at 3 p.m. (local time).
