Christmas 2024 is set to be a Christmas like no other for the Royal Family, says royal commentator Afua Hagan. King Charles III has initiated the most important and significant transformation of royal Christmas celebrations in decades.
This Christmas, as the monarch reflects a significant shift from centuries-old traditions due to personal health challenges and changing family dynamics, the Royal Family's Christmas celebrations will look remarkably different. King Charles plans to reshape the festive season with relaxed protocols and a completely new guest list.
Sandringham Estate is preparing to welcome 45 family members this Christmas, Prince William said during a recent visit with soldiers in Bulford, Wiltshire.
“We’ll be in Norfolk, at Sandringham,” he revealed during the outing, via People. “We'll be 45 for Christmas. It won't be quiet, it will be noisy.”
The 20,000-acre Grade II listed home now features enhanced security measures. This gathering will be one of the largest Royal Family reunions in recent memory and the estate's staff now manages a complex operation to host a gathering of this size.
