It seems Prince William has strict rules when it comes to Christmas.

Following reports that Kate Middleton will host a “rival” Christmas party in 2024, a new article claims that someone is refusing to let Prince William spend the holiday season with her.

The Daily Beast reports that William and Kate have chosen to spend Christmas at home with their children in recent years. The Welsh couple have often avoided attending Christmas Day lunches at their “big house” in Sandringham, preferring the informality of a relaxed lunch at Anmer Hall.

And that's not all. A source told the outlet, “William, despite being reconciled with his father's choices, is not very fond of Camilla and is nervous about Tom's somewhat flamboyant lifestyle.”

Also, one former employee of the Crown Prince and Princess told the outlet, “William and Kate have built an incredibly successful brand by being normal and boring, but the crazy royal customs of Christmas are threatening everything. Because Christmas is the only time of year when the entire nation focuses on the royal family,”

they continued, ”there is a danger that the reputation of the royal family will be overshadowed by stories about strange and elitist aristocratic customs. No wonder they want to change the narrative as they prepare to ascend to the throne themselves.”

In an interview with People magazine, Queen Camilla's son Tom mentioned whether he would be invited to the Royal Family's Christmas festivities. 'We are married into the Royal Family, but we are not the Royal Family.'

He continued, “I'm not saying that I or my children spend our time running around the palace. I have my own job and the children have school. For various reasons, we haven't been there for Christmas yet.”
