Monarch shifts annual pre-Christmas lunch to Buckingham Palace as royal changes unfold
Buckingham Palace has released a fresh statement as King Charles honours brave and devoted individuals while making a notable change to royal Christmas traditions.
On December 16, the royal family’s official Instagram shared a heartwarming video of King Charles at Buckingham Palace, where he awarded The King’s Gallantry Medal and The King’s Commendation for Bravery to individuals recognised for their extraordinary acts of courage.
The message highlighted Georgia Laurie, who received the medal for saving her sister from a crocodile attack in Mexico in 2021. “Congratulations to all the recipients for their remarkable bravery!” the post read, celebrating their heroism.
This update comes as HELLO! reported that the royal family’s annual pre-Christmas lunch will now take place at Buckingham Palace instead of Windsor Castle. The decision follows ongoing scrutiny over Prince Andrew’s alleged ties to a Chinese spy, which continue to spark controversy.
Despite the challenges, the royal family is expected to maintain their cherished tradition of a festive walk at Sandringham on Christmas Day, delighting royal watchers during the holiday season.
