The festive season may be about goodwill and togetherness, but according to fresh reports, things remain far from peaceful inside the royal family. New claims suggest Prince William is once again planning to skip King Charles’ traditional Christmas lunch at Sandringham, choosing instead to spend the day with Kate Middleton’s family.
The report comes from Rob Shuter’s ShuterScoop, which alleges that ongoing disagreements and a noticeably frosty atmosphere have pushed William to step back from the main royal gathering. A source close to the situation said that while William, Kate and their children are expected to attend church and put on a united front in public, they will quietly bow out when it comes to lunch at the main house. The insider described the past year as especially challenging for the Prince and Princess of Wales, adding that the emotional strain has played a major role in their decision.
