On Christmas Eve, they gather for a formal dinner featuring Norfolk shrimp and lamb, while Christmas morning begins with a hearty English breakfast of eggs, sausages, bacon, and beans. After their customary visit to St Mary Magdalene Church, they enjoy a Christmas lunch with roast turkey as the centerpiece.\n</p><p>Interestingly, one quirky tradition dating back to Henry VII still continues: family members \u201cweigh in before and after Christmas lunch,\u201d as per <em>Us Weekly. Later in the afternoon, they gather to watch the annual Christmas speech, now delivered by King Charles following the late Queen Elizabeth\u2019s reign.\n<p>In his most recent address, King Charles reflected on themes of faith, compassion, and unity, expressing gratitude to the countless volunteers who serve their communities. \u201cOver this past year, my heart has been warmed by countless examples of the imaginative ways in which people are caring for one another,\u201d he said. Charles also touched upon global conflicts and prayed for peace in the year ahead. \u201cThe words of Jesus seem more than ever relevant: \u2018Do to others as you would have them do to you.\u2019\u201d\n</p><p><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"alignnone' wp-image-45488 aligncenter src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/echowoven.com%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2024%5C/12%5C/462575778_1587590055194934_1034206733892641607_n.png%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"947\"' height='\"1501\"' title='\"\"'>\n</p><h3><strong>Royal Rules and Traditions\n<p>Tradition is at the heart of the British monarchy, with many customs dating back centuries. These include strict dress codes that often fascinate the public. Royals are frequently seen in gloves, military uniforms, tiaras, or elaborate jewelry. The late Queen Elizabeth\u2019s iconic rainbow-colored coats and hats, for instance, were rooted in a tradition that discouraged women from showing their hair. Even today, colored nail polish and jeans are largely off-limits for royals.\n</p><p>One custom that stands out is the rule dictating that young boys wear shorts, regardless of the weather. Etiquette expert William Hanson explained to <em>Harper\u2019s Bazaar, \u201cTrousers are for older boys and men, whereas shorts on young boys is one of those silent class markers that we have in England.\u201d This year, young Prince Louis caught the public\u2019s eye, donning a blazer and tie for the first time, a look designed to feel both age-appropriate and fun. \u201cHe also matched perfectly with his mother and sister,\u201d noted children\u2019s wear designer Rachel Riley.\n<p><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"alignnone' wp-image-45489 aligncenter src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/echowoven.com%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2024%5C/12%5C/466847215_628200176433324_543369182702250293_n.png%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"1085\"' height='\"723\"' title='\"\"'>\n</p><h3><strong>Prince Louis: The Show-Stealer\n<p>Prince Louis once again captured public attention with his youthful exuberance during the royal family\u2019s Christmas walk to church. Holding hands with his father, Prince William, and his second cousin Mia Tindall, Louis appeared both excited and impatient. \u201cLike most small children on Christmas morning, he looked eager but also restless,\u201d said body language expert Judi James. She noted how William calmed his son with a gentle hand on the back of his head, balancing affection with reassurance.\n</p><p>This isn\u2019t the first time Louis has stolen the spotlight. During the Trooping the Colour event, he entertained onlookers with his expressive reactions, from holding back a sneeze to mimicking a drumbeat. Author Tom Quinn remarked in his book <em>Gilded Youth: An Intimate History of Growing Up in the Royal Family that Kate Middleton\u2019s calm yet firm parenting approach has often been praised, including moments when Louis displayed mischievous behavior.\n<p><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"alignnone' wp-image-45490 aligncenter src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/echowoven.com%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2024%5C/12%5C/467473760_1753660762143867_4642777206880809619_n.png%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"1053\"' height='\"716\"' title='\"\"'>\n</p><h3><strong>Raising Royals\n<p>While Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis are still young, they are already learning to navigate the expectations of royal life. During the Trooping the Colour, Kate Middleton famously instructed her children with an eight-word command: \u201cDo not look behind whilst on the coach.\u201d Kate managed her children with poise as Prince William rode on horseback. \u201cShe beamed with pride when Louis began miming drumming along with the band,\u201d noted Judi James. \u201cHer gestures also appeared to provide gentle guidance, such as when to wave and when to refrain.\u201d\n</p><p>Through these small yet significant moments, the younger royals are introduced to the weight of tradition, ensuring that the spirit of the monarchy remains intact for future generations. Despite the challenges of growing up in the public eye, the royal family remains committed to instilling values of duty, respect, and togetherness in the youngest members of the household.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"</p><p>Christmas is widely regarded as the most wonderful time of the year\u2014a season for kindness, gratitude, love, and reflection on all we hold dear.
