Kate Middleton 'wants to axe Royal Family tradition this Christmas'

ok.co.uk:

The festive season often sees the nation's gaze fixed on the Royal Family, especially for the monarch's heartfelt Christmas message.The Windsors maintain their tradition of attending church together on Christmas Day, greeting well-wishers during their walk to and from St.

Mary Magdalene Church in Sandringham, and this year promises to continue that cherished routine. In recent years, the Princess of Wales has been hosting an annual Christmas carol concert, adding a touch of her own festive spirit.

After a year marked by health issues and a step back from the public eye, this year it stands as one of her few official engagements.

However, it seems that Kate Middleton is keen to shake up the Windsor's Yuletide customs. Reports suggest she's looking to discard a long-standing Royal practice she finds "weird" – the exchange of gifts on Christmas Eve, a tradition dating back to Queen Victoria's time, reflecting the family's German roots.
