A warm royal moment at Sandringham
Kate Middleton mixed kindness and humor during the royal family’s traditional Christmas Day walk on December 25, 2025, at Sandringham in Norfolk. The Princess of Wales joined the family after church and spent time greeting well-wishers and royal fans gathered outside. As always, she moved slowly through the crowd, shaking hands, smiling, and chatting with the event-goers.

A broken chair and a quick joke
During one greeting, a loud crack suddenly interrupted the wholesome holiday move. The reason? A man’s chair broke right in front of Kate, drawing her immediate attention. The Princess of Wales quickly asked the man if he was okay and checked in with concern. When the man laughed it off and joked about the timing, Kate noticed the broken seat and playfully asked if that had been his chair. After he joked that it happened before Christmas dinner, she jokingly responded, saying, “too many mince pies,” turning the moment into a shared laugh.
Kate Middleton’s natural Christmas charm
Kate’s relaxed and friendly approach made her stand out once again. She reportedly “lagged behind” the rest of the royal family, something she also joked about during last 2024’s walk. The outing was a hit overall, especially with her children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, who collected small gifts from fans. The moment captured exactly why Kate Middleton’s holiday appearances are so popular and appreciated by royal fans.
