Charles and Camilla arrived privately at the Norfolk residence earlier on Friday, with Prince William and Princess Kate, alongside their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, expected to join them over the coming days. The royals typically spend Christmas up at Sandringham, and it was a personal favourite of the late Queen's.

On Christmas Day, the family will head to St. Magdalene's Church for the Christmas service, and it's thought that Prince Louis might attend the service with his family for the first time.
HELLO!'s Royal Editor, Emily Nash, says: "Prince Louis is now the same age his sister Princess Charlotte was when she did her first Christmas Day walkabout after church on Christmas Day, so royal fans will be hoping to catch a glimpse of him with his siblings and parents this year after he nearly stole the show during the Platinum Jubilee celebrations."

Following the service, the royals will likely spend the rest of the day in private, as well as watching King Charles' first Christmas message as monarch.
