Consequently, the royal family’s first holiday season following the queen’s death was sure to feel different.
Still, King Charles III tried to make this holiday as merry as the ones that came before.
In just five months, the former Prince of Wales will officially be crowned the new king.

The first Christmas he hosted actually gave some indications about what his reign will look like.
This month, King Charles took away his office and staff.
A source told The Sun that “any presence at the Palace is officially over.

The King has made it clear.
[Andrew] isn’t a working royal.
He’s on his own.”
Still, folks are wondering if Andrew’s presence at Christmas means he’ll make a comeback.
but to be perfectly honest .
what charity would want him?"
And, that’s fallen on deaf ears.
There’s no way the king can bring Andrew back into the fold."
Rae added, “You know he has consistently denied any of the allegations that were made against him .
but you’ve still got to answer the main question, Andrew .
That’s going to haunt him for the rest of his life.”
