THE Prince and Princess of Wales were reunited as the royal family got
together for the traditional Christmas Day church service at Sandringham
yesterday -- but appeared not to talk to each other or even exchange
glances.
Wearing a brown coat, hat, and ankle boots, the Princess walked from
Sandringham House with other members of the family to the church of St
Mary Magdalen on the Queen's Norfolk estate.
She was escorted by her 12-year-old son, Prince William, and equerry
Major James Patrick.
The Prince of Wales, wearing a brown herringbone overcoat and carrying
an umbrella, walked with 10-year-old Prince Harry.
The main Royal party was headed by the Duke of Edinburgh, the Princess
Royal, and her daughter Zara Phillips, 13. The Queen, Queen Mother, and
Princess Margaret were driven to the church.
An estimated crowd of 2500 people turned out on a bitterly cold
morning for a glimpse of the royals.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
