Prince William, Kate Middleton attend Buckingham Palace event with children

Prince William and Kate Middleton on Tuesday attended traditional Christmas lunch at Buckingham Palace with the couple's three children.

The Prince and Princess of Wales were photographed arriving at the palace with Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

According to express.co.uk, "The family, who will be travelling to the Sandringham Estate to spend the big day with the rest of the royals, looked thrilled as they drove into the famous home. 

Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice drove together in the same car as the daughters of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson arrived at the palace .

The publication wrote that the lunch at Buckingham Palace is aimed at giving  extended members of the Royal Family who will not have the opportunity to travel to Sandringham for Christmas Day the chance to see their family and wish them a happy new year.

"After the dinner was over, Prince William was once again spotted behind the wheel as he drove with his daughter, Princess Charlotte, in the front seat. The family's nanny, Maria Teresa Turrion Borralo, was visible in the back seat of the car," reported Express.

It's not known whether Andrew, who was recently stripped of his royal titles, was invited to the lunch.

The second son of the late Queen Elizabeth lost his remaining royal titles over his links to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstien.
