Christmas is a time to enjoy with the family and to meet with those who are most loved. That is why, the princes of Wales, Catalina and Guillermo, accompanied by their three children, George, Charlotte and Louis, have attended the traditional Christmas mass that is celebrated every year in the Sandringham chapel, in Norfolk, along with the rest of the Royal Family. This year has been very different from the rest. And it is that the absence of Queen Elizabeth II, who died last September, has been very noticeable. It has been the first meeting that they lead Charles III and the queen consort, Camilla, as sovereigns. A special day that the rest of the family did not want to miss.
Along with the kings and princes of Wales, other family members have also attended, such as the king’s brothers. Among them, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew, Princes Edward and Sophie, Dukes of Wessex, and Princesses Beatrix and Eugenia. Although if someone has caught the eye, it has been Catalina Middleton. The princess herself wore a green wool coat that she accessorized with a wide-brimmed felt hat, topped with a bow and a feather. A very elegant look that she has demonstrated, once again, the good style that she has.
King Carlos III with the queen consort, Camilla
The garment has given much to talk about in the United Kingdom, and not only because of its elegance, but because it has its meaning. Catalina has already worn this outfit before, specifically in January 2020, after Harry and Meghan left for the United States. That is why this gesture has been interpreted as a clear message of support for her father-in-law, King Carlos III, after the controversial statements by the Sussexes in their documentary. Her daughter Charlotte wore a maroon coat and her brother George, very elegant in a navy blue suit, white shirt and matching tie. Little Louis wore a blue coat.
The truth is that the absence of Elizabeth II has not been the only highlight. To that of the sovereign, is added that of the youngest son of Carlos III, Harry, and his wife, Meghan Markle. Despite having been invited to Carlos’s coronation on May 6, they remain totally distanced from the English royal family after the broadcast of their documentary on Netflix. Above all, they are in favor of Guillermo and Catalina, as they themselves are revealing in the documentary.
The British Royal Family this Sunday
On the other hand, the attendance of Prince Andrés was surprising, just on the day it became known that King Carlos III, his brother, would have ordered him to be definitively expelled from Buckigham Palace. From now on, Andrés will not be able to use the palace address as an office or send or receive mail in the palace. This is revealed by some British media. “Any presence in the palace has officially ended”, has published The Sun. “The king has made it clear. He is not a royal worker. He is alone,” he said.
A family watches Carlos III’s speech for Christmas
Like all families, after mass they have gathered. All those attending the event went to Sandrigham Palace where they ate the traditional turkey and then sat down to watch on television the speech that Carlos III has given to the nation, the first he has made as reigning monarch. A speech that has been well received among the British population.
