Prince William recently shared a glimpse of their own plans while speaking during an engagement in Bulford, Wiltshire. He explained that they will be in Norfolk for Christmas. He joked that with around forty-five people gathering, the house will be full of noise, love, and very little peace. When asked if he felt ready for the celebrations, his answer was a laugh and a firm no.
Former royal butler Paul Burrell has described the rhythm of the day in past years. He explained that while the Sandringham visit is a central part of the season, William and Kate now return to Anmer Hall in the afternoon to continue the celebration more privately with their children. According to him, it reflects a more modern approach, blending duty with the kind of family Christmas many households recognise.
