Mystery over Queen Camilla's missing family on Christmas Day walk to church solved

Queen Camilla's family were expected to join her and King Charles for a Sandringham Christmas, for the first time ever this year. However, many were left baffled when the 77-year-old's children, Tom and Laura and, her five grandchildren, were not among the royal party who took part in the traditional walk to church this morning. Camilla led the way to church with her husband the King, while following behind were the Prince and Princess of Wales, and their children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
But it seems despite not joining in with the traditional church walk with the royals, they still were at Sandringham for the first time ever - but decided not to join in with the public event. A palace source explained that they did join the royals for the church service at Sandringham but decided not to walk with the royals as they are private individuals.
Camilla always has Christmas with the Royal Family and usually sees Tom and Laura and their children in the days after December 25. But after a tumultuous year of health battles, including the Queen suffering from viral pneumonia, her children and grandchildren have been by her side for the festive season.
Before Camilla wed King Charles, she was previously married to Andrew Parker Bowles and had her two children Laura and Tom. This means that the pair are step siblings of Charles' sons William and Harry. Tom is a well-known food writer and often appears on food and cookery TV shows. Several weeks ago, he revealed his mum's pleas for him to spend Christmas with her.
