Kate Middleton and Prince William Bring the Kids to Queen Elizabeth II’s Christmas Lunch

It’s time for Queen Elizabeth II‘s annual pre-Christmas luncheon!

The holiday gathering took place at Buckingham Palace in London on Wednesday. Of course, several members of the royal family were there.

For instance, Kate Middleton was spotted driving Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis to the luncheon. The Duchess of Cambridge opted for a fun and festive ensemble and wore the Anni Tartan Georgette midi dress from Emilia Wickstead’s collection. Meanwhile, Prince William headed over to the big event with Prince George.

Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, Princess Anne and Prince Charles were also there as were Zara Tindall and Mike Tindall. Sophie, Countess of Wessex and her husband, Prince Edward, attended the gathering along with their children, as well.

Princess Beatrice also brought her fiancé Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi. However, some royal admirers were surprised to see her father Prince Andrew make an appearance given the scandal over his “former association with Jeffrey Epstein.”

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were not in attendance. Although, this came as no surprise to their fans. Last month, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced they were taking some “extended family time” and celebrating the holidays with Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland.

“This decision is in line with precedent set previously by other members of the Royal Family, and has the support of Her Majesty The Queen,” part of their statement read.
