We reveal the menu that Prince William and Kate Middleton enjoy for Christmas with the children.
Like any family, Kate Middleton and Prince William celebrate Christmas with the most special dishes. European royal families are also finalizing the details for one of the most important dates on the calendar: Christmas Day. Among them, the British royal family observes December 25th with a ceremony as recognizable as it is unchanging. King Charles III gathers a large part of the clan each year at Sandringham, his residence in Norfolk, where tradition and protocol go hand in hand.
And, as expected, Kate Middleton is one of the main protagonists of the day. Since joining the Windsors, the Princess of Wales has naturally embraced the family's Christmas rituals. For them, the day begins with the now-famous mass at St. Mary Magdalene Church, which they walk to amidst greetings and curious glances. After the service, everyone returns to Sandringham to enjoy a lunch that, far from being extravagant, remains true to the classic flavors of the season... No surprises!
The Windsors' Christmas lunch menu: these are the star dishes
Turkey is the undisputed king of the table. This was revealed by Darren McGrady, former chef to the Royal Household, in an interview with Hello! magazine, where he even described the Christmas menu as "predictable." No experiments: the bird is served stuffed with sage, onion, and chestnuts, accompanied by traditional side dishes such as roast potatoes, mashed potatoes, and Brussels sprouts. Many of these products also come from Sandringham's own vegetable garden, a commitment to organic produce that perfectly aligns with the healthy lifestyle philosophy championed by the Princess of Wales.
As for drinks, moderation is the unwritten rule. Former royal butler Grant Harrold explained that wine is present, but always in moderation. White wines are served with appetizers, reds with the main course, and occasionally a sweet wine or rosé champagne with dessert. However, before the grand feast, there is another, lesser-known ritual: Christmas breakfast.
According to tradition, men and women have breakfast separately and with different menus. Women opt for light options such as yogurt, fruit, and toast, while men choose eggs, bacon, and grilled meats. A balanced breakfast that, according to experts, helps maintain energy throughout the day.
