Maybe Charles put his foot down.

Yes, I think there's an attempt at damage control.

@sandy I thought that maybe the Senior royals put their foot down and ordered everyone to Sandringham.
@Curryong Major damage control.

Yes, I think there's an attempt at damage control.

I agree @Curryong and @Blue Clover that this might be damage control. Typically the Cambridges have been alternating Christmases to some degree  and I believe that this would have been a Bucklebury year.

@TLLK It appears to be a pattern and now disrupted by either a real feud between the brothers or a tabloid created feud - but causing enough speculation that a show of unity is in order.
