“Wishing everyone a Happy New Year!” read the accompanying caption. The photo was taken of the couple in the back of their car on the way to the premiere of the new James Bond movie, No Time To Die, back in September. Kate is leaning over to clutch William’s hand, with the two of them looking excited about their upcoming date night. Duchess Kate made headlines around the world for her elaborate updo and shimmering caped gown of gold sequins. Meanwhile, Prince William wore a velvet tux and cashmere slippers, if you please! The royals’ annual Christmas lunch on the Sandringham estate was cancelled again this year due to Covid concerns. Queen Elizabeth II remained at Windsor Castle, while the Cambridges celebrated with Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis at their country home of Anmer Hall. Marie Claire reports that George got a camping kit from Santa, while Charlotte got a video camera. Their source also told them that William “wanted to make this Christmas extra special for Kate and surprised her with a beautiful bracelet." Just before Christmas Kate wowed her fans by taking part in the Westminster Abbey carol service of which she was host, and which aired on Christmas Eve. The duchess sat down at a piano to accompany singer Tom Walker in his rendition of ‘For Those Who Can’t Be Here.’ (Okay, so the performance was actually recorded a day in advance, with Kate wearing the red dress in which she appeared at the concert to give the appearance of it having been performed live… but it still counts!)
