Prince William celebrated Christmas Day at the Sandringham estate with other members of the royal family. Opening up about attending the festivities with those close to him, the Prince of Wales revealed that he had the most fun among them all.
One thing he was happy about was that no one was filming, and everyone was living the moment. Appearing on the Apple Fitness+ Podcast, the father of three answered questions related to the celebration.
To start, Prince revealed, “What’s great about it is that we sit across from each other as a family, and growing up, having my cousins sit across from me was always a lot of times. It’s been very difficult to keep a straight face.”
He further said, “I have had to face laughter many times during my service. Luckily, no one is filming it, so you can get away with it. And on Christmas day, it’s fun to frolic and enjoy.
In addition to the Duke of Cornwall, the Christmas celebrations were also attended by Princess Kate, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis, Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson’s two daughters, Peter Philip and Zara Tindall.

Recalling his Christmas days when he was young, the Prince of Wales said, “I have strong memories of walking here, and my grandfather (Prince Philip), he used to walk so fast that there were huge gaps between all the There was more space.” There were people walking down, and behind us were trying to climb up with our little legs.”
He added, “Walking here, you’ll find the huge pine trees that are synonymous with this part of Norfolk. And I love the smell of pine in winter. It is very soothing.”
It’s been a comparatively difficult year for the royals, with the Princess of Wales as well as the King battling cancer and taking a step back from royal duties.
