Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, who stole the limelight at Kate Middleton’s annual carol concert, will join King Charles and the rest of the royals for a big gathering at Sandringham.
As Prince William and Princess Catherine’s children wait to be reunited with their other cousins, they will be the prominent young royals the public will be waiting to see when they step out on Christmas Day.
The Prince and Princess of Wales, who are devoted and protective parents to their three children, had laid down a strict rule to protect them from some royal traditions which were likely to leave them in distress, a royal chef pointed out.
Very specific protocols have been put in place for royals, seniors and non-working, young and old, which must be followed to a T. Even with the young age, a royal is expected to be disciplined in royal staircase etiquette, Darren McGrady revealed to Harper’s Bazaar previous.
Darren has experience working for both the late Queen Elizabeth II and the late Princess Diana. He explained that, in order to learn ‘polite conversation’, the children should be separated from William and Kate at mealtimes.
“Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis had to learn very early on what they can and can’t do,” he said. And until they were old enough to behave properly, they were not allowed to sit with all the elders at the massive dining table set for the family.
For William and Kate, the move had been made in an attempt to protect their children from the pressure of avoiding any slippage. It seems that with their poise, the kids have portrayed that they might just be ready for the big step.
