Prince William has made an unexpected Christmas confession that's unlikely to impress his three children, George, Charlotte, and Louis. The future King opened up about the Royal Family's festive plans this year during a visit with soldiers and their families in Bulford, Wiltshire. And as well as revealing that a whopping 45 extended family members are heading to Sandringham to celebrate with King Charles, William admitted there is one Christmas tradition he is not on board with.
The royal found himself amidst a sea of festive jumpers as he handed out Christmas presents to military families on Tuesday, as Colonel-in-Chief of 1st Battalion Mercian Regiment in Wiltshire. Asked why he was not wearing a festive jumper of his own, William pointed to himself and admitted: "Some people don't own one!".
When asked why, he then pointed across the room at his new equerry, Squadron Leader Mike Reynolds, and said jokingly: "I didn't know. You see that guy in the jacket, it's his fault and I will be having a word!". Sharing details of his own Christmas plans, William said he would be spending the day with 45 members of his family "all in one room" but "normally spread out", and said he hoped for a long walk that included all the dogs.
"Am I ready for Christmas?" he then admitted with a laugh. "No! No way am I ready.". The huge family gathering will see the majority of royals head to Norfolk to celebrate with the King. It's an especially poignant Christmas following both Princess Kate and King Charles's cancer battles this year.
