Camilla's Christmas Magic: A Warm Gathering with Charity Kids
Camilla, the passionate 76-year-old, kept her endearing tradition alive this year at Clarence House. On December 6, she extended a warm invitation to a bunch of seriously ill children, inviting them to a cheerful occasion where they could decorate a Christmas tree together. The joyous event also included a surprise visit from Santa Claus and his reindeer, allowing the kids to have a memorable experience of feeding them.
Instead of a formal dinner, a mouthwatering spread of sausages and mash, topped with a playful broccoli crown, was served to the children. The table was laden with assorted sweets, as evidenced in the majestic clip released by the Palace, showcasing King Charles III (75) and Camilla on Instagram. The jolly background music was provided by the military band Band and Bugles of The Rifles, while Camilla graciously accepted a touching gift and affectionate hug from one of her cherished guests.
The British royals' Christmas celebrations take a unique turn
"A touching Christmas awaits us," the clip conveyed. This holiday season, Queen Camilla extended her long-standing tradition of heartily welcoming children and their families from charities such as Helen & Douglas House and Roald Dahl's Marvellous Children's Charity to Clarence House.
This year's celebrations might take a slight turn. As reported widely in British media, Camilla's grandchildren are expected to join the traditional Royal Family Christmas gathering at Sandringham for the first time in 2023.
