British royal family news reveals that King Charles and Queen Camilla have had a marvelous year, starting with their coronation in May and capped off by a week of festive holiday celebrations at Sandringham.
Even the outsider married to Prince Andrew, Sarah Ferguson, was invited to join the family at the Christmas morning service at St. Mary Magdalene church.
She had been banished from the kingdom, and Andrew is still royal non-grata, but the olive branch shows there may yet be hope for reconciliation with Harry and Meghan.
So, how will the clan ring in the New Year? According to Hello! magazine, Charles and Camilla plan to usher in 2024 at Sandringham, attend church, and then feast on a “simple” lunch.

That day’s lunch consisted of “Christmas turkey, Brussel sprouts, roast potatoes and salad, whilst the dessert was fried plum pudding and brandy butter.”

It sounds like a simple but magnificent meal, one the chef spent six months preparing for just the dessert alone.
According to Darren “We’d make the plum pudding for Christmas New Year at Sandringham in July just after garden parties and before heading off to Balmoral for the summer… so the plum pudding had time to mature.”
