Kate and William have chosen to spend Christmas with the King, marking a moment of unity for the royal family after a challenging year marked by a battle with cancer.
The royal family will come together for the first time this holiday season, following a difficult year for both the King and the Princess of Wales, who were diagnosed with cancer just days apart.
This Christmas marks a significant moment of unity after an intense period for both of them.
King Charles and Kate shared an emotional connection during a difficult period in January when they both found themselves in the same hospital at the same time.
During their recoveries from separate surgeries, it was reported that the King, determined to offer comfort, made his way down the hospital corridor to visit his daughter-in-law, a moment of tender support as they faced their health challenges together.
While King Charles continues his weekly treatments, Princess Kate shared in October that after eight months of chemotherapy, she has completed her own course of treatment.
Royal insiders have disclosed that the King is delighted to have the Prince and Princess of Wales, along with their three children—Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis—confirmed for Christmas, reported Mirror.
After a challenging year, the monarch is already making festive arrangements to celebrate with his immediate and extended family.
This week, King Charles has been overseeing preparations for the royal family's Christmas gathering at Sandringham.
Sources close to the royal family have revealed that the King has been personally inspecting the estate and coordinating with staff to finalise plans for the holiday season.
King Charles made a brief return to London on Tuesday for his routine treatment and to carry out official duties, including meeting with foreign ambassadors at Buckingham Palace.
However, he quickly returned to Sandringham on Wednesday to focus on finalising Christmas arrangements for his family gathering.
