Prince William And Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales, is getting back into the royal family’s Christmas tradition.
On Sunday, William and Kate and their three children attended Mass at St. Mary Magdalene Church in Norfolk. Prince George, 9, and Princess Charlotte, 7, attended the holiday service in 2019, but this year marks Prince Louis, 4,’s first appearance.
The newly appointed Prince and Princess of Wales joined King Charles III and Camilla, The Queen Consort, on Christmas Day. 2022 marks the first time the royal family will celebrate the holiday together since the coronavirus pandemic two years ago.

“Take the time to relax and celebrate with family and friends all the wonderful things that make Christmas so special.”
The princess looked stunning in a sparkly black tunic embellished with gold as she said, “This year, we have invited hundreds of inspiring individuals to service. Those who display the power of connectedness and the values of community, allowing us to continue Her Majesty’s tradition of appreciating and thanking those who have done their best to support others.” Her Majesty The Queen leaves with us an incredible legacy that has deeply inspired many of us.”
Christmas has always been very special for the Queen, who died at the age of 96 in September. The Queen has often spoken about love, charity and family in her annual Christmas speeches throughout her reign, and she gave a particularly personal speech last year, following the death of her husband, Prince Philip.
