Prince William is a ‘no-show’ at Queen’s annual Christmas lunch

It is not known what George and Charlotte will get for Christmas but George is a big fan of toy helicopters, tractors and planes.

The news came as Kensington Palace released a new photograph of the family together, the first time they have been pictured as a family since Princess Charlotte‘s christening in the summer.

Over the years, royal fans have seen Princess Kate tackle various life roles, such as a wife to Prince William, mother to children Prince George and Princess Charlote, a daughter, a sister, a supporter of various charitable organisations, among others.

As usual, Prince George managed to steal the show among dozens of royals. Take a look at the newest pictures of Kate Middleton The day before, Kate rocked a red Alexander McQueen frock to join groups of families in festive activities at the Anna Freud Centre Family School Christmas Party bash.

Prince George was spotted in one of the cars with his mom and his uncle, Prince Harry, heading in for the family event.

The Duchess of Cambridge took these photos of six-month-old Princess Charlotte in early November. The festivities will continue on Christmas day at her Sandringham estate in Norfolk, with a smaller gathering for lunch following the morning church service.

Among the first guests to arrive was Autumn Phillips, the wife of The Queen’s oldest grandson, Peter Phillips.

Travelling on the 10:44 GMT train from King’s Cross station in London, the royal couple arrived three minutes late at King’s Lynn at 12:24.

Zara Phillips, the Queen’s granddaughter, arrived alongside husband Mike Tindall, a former England rugby player.

Come December 24, the dad-of-two predicts his son will be ridiculously excited and unable to get a wink of sleep in case he misses Father Christmas’ big arrival – just like children nationwide. “But I’m looking forward to it”, he told Sophia Kichou.
