This year, the Royal family’s traditional Christmas celebrations are expected to be anything but ordinary. With King Charles and Queen Camilla hosting, there will be some surprising additions to the guest list, as well as a few changes in how they celebrate the festive season.
Christmas has always been a cherished time for the Royals, especially for the late Queen Elizabeth II. And while her absence will surely be felt, King Charles is determined to keep the spirit of family and togetherness alive. He’ll be surrounded by his five grandchildren: Prince George, Princess Charlotte, Prince Louie, and his step-grandchildren, Lola, Elisa, Louie, Gus, and Freddy. However, the festive atmosphere will be tempered by the absence of his younger grandchildren, Archie and Lilibet, who are expected to remain in California. The ongoing family tensions, particularly with Prince Harry, will likely weigh on King Charles’s mind, but the presence of the children will certainly provide a much-needed distraction and lightheartedness during what has been a challenging year for the family.
In recent years, the Royal family has adhered to many of the same holiday traditions—exchanging official Christmas cards, hosting charity events, decorating the palaces, and enjoying festive carol singing. The Royal family’s pre-Christmas luncheon has also become an annual event, where Royals from all walks of life gather for a grand meal. King Charles has continued this tradition, even though the location has shifted from Buckingham Palace to Windsor Castle since his ascension to the throne.
One notable change in recent years has been the introduction of a Christmas Carol concert organized by the Princess of Wales. Catherine has brought a fresh, personal touch to the holiday season, and reports suggest that she’s hoping to take it a step further by introducing new traditions to the Winter celebrations at Windsor Castle. There’s even talk that she may aim to end one centuries-old Royal tradition that she has described as “weird”—though details on this have yet to be confirmed.
Meanwhile, across the pond, Meghan Markle has opened up about how she and Prince Harry plan to spend the holiday season. The couple’s Christmas is expected to be a low-key, private affair at their Montecito home in California, focused on family and creating lasting memories for their children. Meghan recently shared that their holidays are centered around good food, fun activities, and quality time with loved ones. She recalled a cherished Thanksgiving moment when women’s rights advocate Gloria Steinem joined their celebration. Meghan emphasized that they always make room at the table for friends who don’t have family nearby, reflecting their inclusive and welcoming approach to family life.
Despite their plans for a quiet holiday season, Prince Harry and Meghan were reportedly invited to spend Christmas with Princess Diana’s brother, Charles Spencer, at Althorp, the Spencer family estate. However, their strained relationship with the British Royal family means they have not been invited to the traditional Sandringham holiday gathering. Their decision to remain in the U.S. highlights their focus on creating a peaceful and joyful holiday season with their children, embracing new traditions away from the public eye.
With all these different family dynamics, Christmas 2024 is sure to be filled with both familiar and unexpected moments. The Royal family’s plans will no doubt reflect both tradition and change, as King Charles, Queen Camilla, and their extended family continue to navigate their roles in a modern monarchy while honoring the deep-rooted customs that have defined their legacy for centuries.
