Duchess of Cambridge and Prince William Wrap Up Royal Train Tour with Visit to Queen at Windsor Castle
The Duchess of Cambridge and her husband Prince William concluded their tour across Britain aboard the Royal Train with a visit to the Queen at Windsor Castle on Tuesday.
This regal setting saw the senior members of the Royal Family, including Prince Charles, Duchess of Cornwall, Prince Edward, the Countess of Wessex, and Prince Anne, pay tribute to key workers, care staff, and volunteers who have been instrumental in helping the vulnerable in the community close to the castle.
This was the first time the Royal Family has been seen together in public since the Covid-19 crisis began in March.
Despite the cold weather, the Queen, adorned in a vibrant red coat, matching hat, black gloves, and her trademark Launer handbag, couldn't hide her joy upon reuniting with her family.
The 94-year-old monarch was all smiles as she engaged in conversations with her loved ones.
Festive tunes played by a Salvation Army band added to the atmosphere as the Queen and her family gathered around a Christmas tree adorned with twinkling lights.
As the evening drew to a close, the Queen made her way up the steps into the warmth of the castle.
Prince Edward and his wife, the Countess of Wessex, approached the Queen, while Prince William and Catherine slowly made their way towards her.
Just as the Duke called out “Bye Gran,” Catherine curtsied gracefully to the Queen.
The monarch acknowledged the couple with a smile and a nod before proceeding to speak with Sophie and Edward.
It remains uncertain when the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will see the Queen again, as the traditional Royal Christmas has been canceled.
During their tour of the UK, Prince William and Catherine expressed their struggle in making Christmas plans.
They admitted that they were unsure about how to spend the festive season and were still trying to figure it out.
“It's so difficult,” William said.
“We are still trying to make plans.
It's difficult to know what to do for the best.”
These comments come in light of a royal expert's claim that the Queen wants her children and grandchildren to enjoy Christmas with their own loved ones and not feel torn between obligations.
The Queen has expressed that this year should be a time for her family to celebrate with other relatives, rather than prioritizing a Royal Christmas.
As a result, Prince William and Catherine may spend Christmas Day without their four children.
Traditionally, the Queen and Prince Philip spend the festive season with close friends at Sandringham in Norfolk.
However, this year, they will remain at Windsor Castle, where they have been isolating with a small group of staff since October.
As for Prince William and Catherine, they are likely to celebrate Christmas at Anmer Hall in Norfolk or with the Duchess' parents, Carol and Michael Middleton, in Berkshire.
In conclusion, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge wrapped up their Royal Train tour with a visit to the Queen at Windsor Castle.
The Royal Family paid tribute to key workers, care staff, and volunteers who have been crucial in supporting the vulnerable during these challenging times.
