Kate Middleton delighted onlookers as she joined other members of the British royal family for the annual Christmas morning walk to and from church in Sandringham, in Norfolk.
Kate was accompanied by her husband, Prince William, and their three children, George, Charlotte, and Louis, as they joined King Charles and Queen Camilla.
Members of the public have been waiting since yesterday evening to greet members of the royal family, eager to show their support after a difficult year for the family, as Charles announced that he was undergoing treatment for cancer, and Kate revealed that she was undergoing chemotherapy. .
Charles will address the nation in his annual television address, scheduled to be delivered at 3pm on Christmas Day.
Although his medical treatment has been confirmed to continue until 2025, Charles has been seen in public regularly in the past few months, including embarking on a tour to New Zealand and Australia. Kate has been seen sporadically in 2024, including in the men's singles final at Wimbledon in July, and at Remembrance Day Mass last month. However, she and her husband missed the traditional Christmas lunch for the royal family and their staff two weeks ago.
She hosted a filmed mass at the beginning of December, in which she reflected on her challenging year and talked about the importance of compassion.
King Charles' embattled brother Andrew was absent, having been excused from attending the family Christmas following recent revelations that he was friends with a Chinese diplomat who was later named a spy (an allegation the man denies).
