However, due to illness, the Queen has missed her first Christmas Day church service since 1988. Prince George and also Princess Charlotte attended their first Xmas Day worship Sunday early morning.
The family attended a service at St Mark’s Church in Engle field, Berkshire, alongside the Duchess of Cambridge’s parents, Carole and Michael Middleton.
They were joined by Pippa Middleton and her fiancé James Matthews. The royal children did not attend Christmas services with their parents last year. The pair appeared well-behaved as they arrived at the church but that wasn’t the case in the days before. The Telegraph reported Prince George got into the Christmas spirit early and was caught ripping open presents under the Christmas tree. After the service, the three-year-old Prince was spotted enjoying a candy cane on the church’s steps.
Meanwhile, due to illness, the Queen has missed her first Christmas Day church service since 1988. Buckingham Palace released a statement Sunday morning stating the Queen would not attend the service at Sandringham because she was recovering from a “heavy cold”.
