The Prince and Princess of Wales joined their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, for the annual Christmas lunch hosted by King Charles at Windsor Castle. The gathering, which takes place on the weekend before Christmas, is a cherished tradition that brings the royal family together before they head to Sandringham for the holidays. The Christmas lunch at Windsor Castle symbolises togetherness and tradition, and is much loved by the public.

While its origins are unclear, it has been refined to include the entire family for a pre-holiday meal at Buckingham Palace. This year, Windsor Castle welcomed around 50 guests from the extended royal family. They enjoyed a sumptuous feast of turkey from Sandringham, Christmas pudding and various festive treats. Katherine and her family were present, bringing warmth and nostalgia to the important venue.

Princess Catherine looked graceful in her elegant outfit as she entered the castle, her stunning dress showing off her unique style while combining modern fashion with royal charm. Prince William complemented her look, exuding his usual royal charisma in a suit and stylish beard. Their children were also the highlight, with Prince George looking regal in a coat, Princess Charlotte charming everyone with her bright smile and matching dress, while little Prince Louis brought energy and joy with his lively expressions.

This was Catherine's first official appearance in months, which touched the hearts of both the public and the royal family. Her journey over the past months has been a reflection of her quiet courage, and her return for such an important occasion has shown her and her commitment to the royal family. This year’s gathering was particularly meaningful, showing unity after a year of challenges and achievements. Catherine’s recent appearance was another royal event, where she joined Prince William and their children at the Christmas concert, highlighting her commitment to the royal family despite the difficulties.

King Charles and Queen Camilla graciously hosted the luncheon, ensuring everyone felt welcome. As the family gathered around the large tables at Windsor Castle, it was clear that this tradition was coming to an end. It was about hope, unity and the enduring power of love. This gathering is usually the last major royal event before heading to Sandringham for the festive season. Catherine’s radiant return in her beautiful dress.
