Kate Middleton and Prince William will not see Kate’s family on Christmas Day and will spent it with the Queen instead, US reports claim
According to reports, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will no longer alternate between Kate's family and the royals
MOST couples do their best to divide the festive period between each family - and up until now, that's exactly what Prince William and Kate Middleton have done, too.
However, it's now been reported that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will no longer be alternating between both the Windsors and the Middletons - instead, it's claimed they will only spend Christmas Day with the royals.
According to , Kate and Will will spend every year with the Queen, 92 and Prince Philip, 97.
An insider explained: "Moving forward, Kate and William will continue to do Sandringham every Christmas Eve and Day as opposed to alternating like they used to.
"With the Queen and Philip's advancing ages, skipping years isn't an option anymore."
The insider added the couple - along with children Prince George, five, Princess Charlotte, three and seven-month-old Prince Louis - will visit the Middletons later in the festive period.
Despite rift rumours, William, Kate, Prince Harry and Meghan will spend Christmas Day together at the Queen's Norfolk residence, Sandringham.
It's reported that Harry and Meghan - who are expecting their first child in the spring - turned down the option of staying at Kate and Will's Norfolk home.
A royal source said: “There’s not a huge amount of room at Sandringham so it’s quite surprising.
It is very usually unusual for non-members of the Royal Family to join the Queen for Christmas Day.
While it's expected the majority of the royal family will travel to Sandringham on Christmas Eve, the Queen arrived in Norfolk yesterday, looking chic in a Burberry scarf and brown wool coat.
Her Maj arrived by train, catching the 10:42 Great Northern service from King's Cross in London to King's Lynn in Norfolk.
