This year, the Royal Family's Christmas celebrations at Sandringham are set to include some new faces, thanks to a break in tradition initiated by Meghan Markle.
Princess Beatrice's husband, Edoardo Mappelli Mozzi, has been extended an invitation to join the festivities, marking a departure from the usual protocol observed in previous years.
Typically, the Royal Family gathers at their Norfolk estate for Christmas, with attendance being dictated by longstanding traditions.
However, this year will see Princess Beatrice, her husband Edoardo, and their one-year-old daughter Sienna joining the royal clan for the holiday season at Sandringham.
Mr. Mozzi's inclusion in the celebrations is a notable deviation from the norm, as partners are traditionally not permitted to attend the ceremony at St Mary Magdalene Church unless they are married.
Meghan Markle, now Duchess of Sussex, set a precedent in 2017 when she spent Christmas at Sandringham before her marriage to Prince Harry in 2018.
By loosening the rules, it appears that Princess Beatrice was able to extend an invitation to her husband to partake in the royal Christmas festivities this year.
The absence of Princess Beatrice's beloved grandmother, the late Queen, will undoubtedly cast a shadow over this year's celebrations.
However, it presents an opportunity for her to spend Easter with her mother, Sarah Ferguson, following her divorce from Prince Andrew.
Plans are reportedly underway to accommodate the former couple and their daughters, along with their families, at Sandringham for the holidays.
In a departure from tradition, preparations are being made for the York family's Christmas at Sandringham, despite Prince Andrew's withdrawal from public life.
A farmhouse is being readied to host the family, providing them with a private space to enjoy the festive season away from prying eyes.
This move has been seen as a strategic decision by King Charles to allow the family to come together in a more intimate setting.
Meanwhile, amidst the ongoing Netflix controversy surrounding Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Queen consort Camilla has garnered praise from royal fans for maintaining her public engagements leading up to Christmas.
As anticipation builds for the next installment of the Harry and Meghan docuseries on Netflix, the monarchy faces heightened scrutiny following revelations made by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
Despite the recent revelations and increased criticism directed at the royal family, Queen Camilla has remained steadfast in fulfilling her royal duties, as evidenced by her continued participation in pre-Christmas engagements.
Social media users have commended her poise and dedication, highlighting her commitment to upholding royal responsibilities amidst turbulent times.
As the second episode of the Netflix series promises further insights into the challenges faced by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle within the royal family, Queen Camilla's unwavering commitment to her duties serves as a beacon of stability and continuity during a period of upheaval within the monarchy.
Her interactions with charity workers and guests have been met with admiration and appreciation from supporters, who applaud her grace under pressure.
