More Pics Of Charlotte And George






George And Charlotte Attend Christmas Mass


The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and their children Prince George and Princess Charlotte attended a Christmas Day service at St Mark's in Berkshire.

The family has chosen to spend the holiday with Catherine's family, the Middletons for only the second time since their marriage in 2011. The last time being 2012 when the Duchess was suffering from acute morning sickness during her pregnancy with Prince George.

For George and Charlotte, this was their first Christmas mass as traditionally young children do not attend the service when with the Queen at Sandringham in Norfolk.

The Queen's Christmas Lunch



The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and their children Prince George and Princess Charlotte along with Prince Harry arrived together for The Queen's Christmas lunch at Buckingham Palace.

Prince William was at the wheel with his brother in the passenger seat and young family in the back of their Range Rover. 

Her Majesty hosts the lunch each year for the extended royal families before she travels to Sandringham House for Christmas and the winter break. 

Most of the relatives in attendance for the lunch are not able to be accomodated at Sandringham as the generations have grown and expanded. The Gloucester and Kent cousins are an example of this. 

However, the Queen's late sister Princess Margaret's two children Lady Sarah Chatto and Viscount Linley and families are always welcome at Sandringham. They most likely attended today's lunch along with the Queen's children, their partners, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Prince William, Catherine, George and Charlotte will be spending Christmas with the Duchess's family in Berkshire so this would be the last time they would see the royal family before the 25th.

George & Charlotte To Spend Christmas With Middleton Family


According to Hello magazine, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and their children will spend Christmas Day with Catherine's family in Berkshire.

Since their marriage, this will only be the second time Catherine and William have spent Christmas Day away from the Royal Family. The first time was in 2012 when the Duchess was suffering extreme morning sickness in the early stages of her pregnancy with Prince George.

The Middleton family home in Bucklebury, Berkshire will be filled with the excitement of young children opening their presents from Santa on Christmas Day. 

Catherine's sister Pippa is to be married next May and no doubt the sisters will be looking at the plans for the big day. 

It is expected that the Cambridge family will return to Anmer Hall on the Sandringham Estate to spend some of the season with The Queen, William's father the Prince of Wales and brother Prince Harry.

Hopefully we will see a new photo of George and Charlotte released soon for Christmas.

Christmas For The Cambridges


George Christmas 2014
It is now less than two weeks until Christmas and the Cambridge Family will once again head to their Norfolk home Amner Hall. Amner is on the Queen's Sandringham Estate where the Royal Family spend the festive season. 

For the past two years the Duchess of Cambridge's family, the Middletons have stayed at Amner Hall and so the young children have been able to see both sides of the family. 

Prince George, now 3, will be excited by the prospect of Santa Claus delivering presents. Princess Charlotte at nineteen months will be able to show her excitement for the first time. 

Two years ago, when expecting her second child, Catherine took George to see London's Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park. Not long after, the duo were joined by William for a visit to Thursford's Santa's Magical Journey not far from Amner Hall. It will be interesting to see where the family visits Santa this year.

Before Christmas, The Queen hosts a lunch at Buckingham Palace for the extended Royal Family including the Kent and Gloucester families. The late Princess Margaret's children and grandchildren are also invited. The lunch makes sure all the relatives celebrate Christmas together. The Queen and Prince Philip then catch a scheduled train to King's Lynn in Norfolk for their winter break. 


Before Catherine, William and Harry depart for Norfolk they have a Volunteer Christmas Party to attend for Heads Together:
