KATE GETS SET FOR CHRISTMAS

The countdown to Christmas is officially on- and it marks the start of a magical time of year for the Princess of Wales.

The festive season is always a busy period for the royal family, with special engagements, glamorous events and, of course, family get-togethers all on the cards.

And for Kate and her three young children – Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and seven-year-old Prince Louis – this year’s run-up to Christmas will be even more special.

After a “brutal” 2024, the Wales family are now spending the winter season in a new home, having moved to Forest Lodge from Adelaide Cottage last month. Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond exclusively tells OK! that Kate, 43, will love nothing more than making Christmas special for her children at the new house – just as her mother Carole Middleton did for Kate and her siblings Pippa and James.

Jennie says, “Having been brought up in such a happy, cohesive family, Catherine loves making Christmas just as special for her children. I’m sure her mother, with her Party Pieces business, had all sorts of wonderful knickknacks to decorate the house. In these eco-friendly days, I imagine that Catherine gets the children involved in making more sustainable decorations from materials they have foraged.

image“Of course, this year is going to be extra special because they are in their new home (not, I imagine for Christmas Day itself, but certainly in the run-up).

“In line with many families these days, she might perhaps give each of the children a Christmas box at the beginning of December.

“That could include a homemade Advent calendar, with little treats for each day of the month. And perhaps some Christmas pyjamas? After all, what’s the point of having them just for the day itself? And a Christmas book to get them in the mood.”
