If you’ve been following along at home, you know the royal family Christmas plans for this year have been up in the air for a while now. First, the news broke that Prince William and Kate Middleton were (maybe) hosting a rival Christmas party at their own home, rather than joining the rest of the family in Sandringham as is tradition.
Now, the Prince of Wales is finally setting the record straight – and it sounds like he and Kate Middleton are set for a busy old festive period indeed!
During a recent visit with soldiers in Bulford, Wiltshire, Will confirmed that he, Kate, and their three children (Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis) would be joining the fam in Sandringham in planned—and apparently, the massive guest list had been finalised.
More royal goodness this way…
“We’ll be in Norfolk, at Sandringham,” he revealed during the outing, via People. “We’ll be 45 for Christmas. It won’t be quiet, it will be noisy.” Uh, 45 guests?? I’m going to need to see that list ASAP.
And when asked whether he was prepared for the chaos, Wills gave this lol response: “Am I ready for Christmas? No, no way am I ready.” Relatable.

Despite the rumours, it seems like the most of the royal family will be following tradition this year… though, of course we’re all keen to know: are Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, along with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, included in that list of 45 guests? Watch this space, we guess.
That said, it was rumoured a while back that Harry’s uncle, Earl Spencer, had invited Meghan and Harry to stay for Christmas, so there is a chance they could be this side of the pond.
