Yesterday, King Charles III of Britain walked to church with his family, just hours before delivering his annual Christmas speech. King Charles and his wife Queen Camilla, along with the Prince and Princess of Wales, William and Catherine, and their children—Prince George, Prince Louis, and Princess Charlotte—were accompanied by other members of the royal family to the Church of St. Mary Magdalene at the King's private residence in Sandringham. The site is located about 100 miles north of London, where Charles delivered his speech from Westminster Abbey—a famous landmark that has hosted magnificent coronations and royal weddings for over 1,000 years. Millions of people in the United Kingdom and across the Commonwealth watch the King's annual Christmas message. Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie attended the traditional family service, while their father, Prince Andrew, who was recently stripped of his titles, was absent. Other members of the family included Princess Anne and her husband Tim Laurence, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh with their children, as well as the King's niece Zara and her husband Mike Tindall.
