Prince William reveals plans for Christmas Day as he enjoys lunch with soldiers & their families

PRINCE William brings some ­festive cheer to a military party — and reveals he will sit down with 45 relatives this Christmas.

He said they will be “spread out” all in one room, adding: “No way am I ready!"

The Prince of Wales, 42, chatted with the Mercian Regiment at the Bulford Camp in Wiltshire.

As colonel-in-chief, Wills met soldiers and their families, dished out presents and enjoyed lunch.

Meanwhile, Lissie Harper, the widow of slain PC Andrew, was yesterday given a new Elizabeth Emblem medal by King Charles for public servants killed in the line of duty.

Asked about his Royal Family Christmas plans, he revealed hopes for long walks with the family dog as they spend the festive period in Norfolk.

William asked five-year-old Alexander Fitzgerald what he wanted for Christmas.

His dad Sgt Lee Fitzgerald, 39, said afterwards: "He said he wanted a Nintendo Switch and when they spoke about playing Mario Kart William said he was supposed to let your dad win sometimes."

All servicemen and their families wore Christmas jumpers to the bash.

Ten-year-old Isobelle McNeil and her younger brother Hunter, 5, handed William a Father Christmas hat present and Christmas card written to George, Charlotte and Louis.

Mum Fiona Dewar McNeil said: "William asked what Father Christmas was going to bring for him and Hunter said he was going to get a big Tyrannosaurus Rex.

"He said 'I hope all your dreams come true'."

Seven-year-old Sanganoo Kejhan also handed William a hand-made Christmas card.

Dylan Potter, 14, made William laugh after revealing he was wearing two Christmas jumpers.

He said afterwards: "I asked what does a prince do for fun?

"He said he likes watching movies and hanging out with his children but because he is over 40 finds fun hard to come by."

William also revealed, while chatting to families, that he has been watching Netflix with Kate including 'Black Doves' starring Kiera Knightly.
