Christmas at Sandringham: Who have the King and Queen invited?

Transcript

00:00The King is pushing the boat out this year, and has invited a whopping 45 family members to join

00:05him and Camilla at Sandringham for Christmas. So, who'll be sitting down amongst the Royals

00:10for pigs in blankets this year? Unsurprisingly, Prince William and Princess Kate will be in

00:14attendance, as will Princess Anne, her husband Sir Timothy Lawrence, along with her children and

00:19grandchildren. Other regulars on the Royal Circuit, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh and their

00:23children, will also be present on Christmas Day. As Queen Camilla is now one of the people in

00:27charge, she's invited some of her own family. Her son Tom Parker Bowles and his kids will be there,

00:32as will her daughter Laura Lopes and her family. There are also, of course, a handful of people

00:36who have not been invited. So, who's on the Royal naughty list? As expected, the Duke and Duchess

00:42of Sussex will not be attending. And, following recent developments of his links to a Chinese spy,

00:47Prince Andrew has also been frostily barred from Sandringham. The Royal clan will open their

00:52presents on Christmas Eve, in a nod to their German roots, and will sit down at 1.15pm sharp

00:57for Christmas Day lunch. Even amidst the noise of 45 people celebrating, the absence of certain

01:03family members will be tricky for the Royals to ignore.
