Royal watchers know that Christmas customs loved by generations of sovereigns might be facing some obstacles due to King Charles’ health crisis. So, it seems like William and Kate are reportedly planning a rival Christmas party, offering a far more laid-back holiday celebration than the ones the royal have been a part of in the past. They will host a Christmas party with Kate’s parents, including her parents, Mike and Carole.
Now, we know that the royal family gets together at Sandringham for a formal affair, but with King Charles’ ongoing cancer battle, an insider says that their extended family members haven’t made major plans. This means certain long-standing traditions will change—especially the one about royals opening their presents on Christmas Eve rather than on Christmas morning.

We are not surprised that after going through a difficult year of cancer, Kate might want to be with her parents during the holidays this year, and Prince William seems to be in favour of it. In fact, the source said that he is “enthusiastic about embracing Kate’s much more normal conception of Christmas.” Furthermore, the source has called it a ‘Christmas Coup.’ They said, “If they post pictures, it’ll be an official coup attempt.”
However, one Christmas tradition will remain the same: the royal walk the family takes when they go to church on Christmas morning while greeting the public awaiting them. We might soon see pictures on social media of the royals taking over the holidays, and we cannot wait to see them. For more such updates on the royal family, keep following Soap Opera Daily!
