Kate Middleton, along with the royal family, attend Christmas morning church service

Dec 25, 2024

Kate Middleton made a heartwarming appearance alongside fellow British Royal Family members during their traditional Christmas morning church service walk at Sandringham, Norfolk.

Accompanied by Prince William and their children—George, Charlotte, and Louis—Kate joined King Charles and Queen Camilla for the occasion. Royal enthusiasts had maintained their vigil since the previous evening, eager to demonstrate their support during what has proven to be a challenging year for the monarchy. Both Charles and Kate had earlier disclosed their respective cancer treatments, with the King undergoing treatment and Kate receiving chemotherapy.

Charles is set to deliver his annual Christmas address to the nation, scheduled for broadcast at 3 pm on Christmas Day.

Despite confirmation that his medical treatment will continue into 2025, Charles has maintained a visible public presence in recent months, including embarking on diplomatic visits to New Zealand and Australia. Kate’s public appearances in 2024 have been more selective, notably at July’s Wimbledon Men’s Singles Final and November’s Remembrance Day services. The couple, however, opted to skip the traditional Christmas staff luncheon two weeks prior.

She presided over a carol service—filmed in early December—where she spoke candidly about her challenging year and emphasized the significance of compassion.

Prince Andrew, the King’s troubled brother, was notably absent from the family Christmas gathering, having been excused following recent disclosures about his association with a Chinese diplomat subsequently identified as a spy—an allegation the individual denies.
