Overview
- King Charles made his first post-Christmas appearance at St Mary Magdalene with Prince Edward and the Duchess of Edinburgh, as well-wishers gathered outside the Sandringham church.
- Peter Phillips attended alongside fiancée Harriet Sperling after opting to spend Christmas Day privately with her family rather than join the public walk to church.
- On Christmas Day, the monarch led the traditional Sandringham procession with most senior royals present, while Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson were not in attendance following his loss of styles and honours.
- During the walkabout, Prince William introduced longtime supporter John Loughrey to his children, who told Prince George that Princess Diana would be proud, and Princess Charlotte was seen gently reassuring her brother.
- Separate footage showed Princess Charlotte pausing for a selfie and briefly falling behind before responding to her father, as the Sandringham Estate account shared a rare interior Christmas photo.
