Prince William focused on keeping Kate Middleton safe during the royal family's Christmas walk at Sandringham. While meeting with fans, Kate joked, “I think I’ve lost my family," despite the Prince of Wales seemingly kept an eye on the Princess of Wales during the public event.

Kate Middleton and Prince William have spent many happy times together over the years, but before they tied the knot they had to spend some festive seasons apart

Prince William and Princess Kate plan a huge surprise for their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, after traumatic 2024. The royal family went through tough times

In the early days of their courtship, Prince William once gave girlfriend Kate Middleton a gift so ‘awful’ that she’s ‘never let me forget that.’

Meanwhile, Hello! reports that Prince William hopped on the phone with a protection officer when he realized Kate had been left behind, and that they were seen chatting as the Princess of Wales caught up with the group.

As she continues her return to public life, Kate Middleton joked “I seem to have lost my family!” after she fell behind Prince William, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis on the royal family’s traditional Christmas Day walkabout.

George, 11, Charlotte, 9, and Louis, 6, walked alongside their parents Prince William and Kate, the Princess of Wales, as members of Britain's royal family made their way into St. Mary Magdalene Church for their traditional Christmas Day service.

Prince William gave Kate Middleton a very odd gift in the early days of their relationship. “I did get my wife a pair of binoculars once. She’s never let me forget that,” the Prince of Wales admitted on BBC Radio Five Live, per the Mirror.

Christmas day isn't complete until the Wales family has made their annual walk to St. Mary Magdalene Church on the merry morning. And on Wednesday Kate Middleton, Prince William, and their kids officially touched down on the Sandringham path to greet droves of well-wishers along with the rest of the royal family.

In addition to Charles and Camilla and William and Kate and their children, other royal family members who celebrate Christmas at Sandringham include Charles's sister, Princess Anne, and youngest brother Prince Edward, and their spouses, children and in the case of Anne, grandchildren.
