William and Kate miss Royal Family’s pre-Christmas lunch The Prince and Princess of Wales will not be attending the royal family’s traditional pre-Christmas lunch at Buckingham Palace on Thursday, it is understood.
A royal source said William and Kate are already in Norfolk, as had been planned, and are looking forward to spending time with the rest of the royal family at Sandringham over Christmas.
Earlier this week, the Duke of York pulled out of the lunch as he continues to be dogged by his links to an alleged Chinese spy.
