All The Royals Who Attended the Queen's 2018 Christmas Luncheon

Yes, Kate and Meghan were there, but so were other royal relatives

Royals Queen Luncheon

Every year, the Queen hosts a luncheon at Buckingham Palace before Christmas including her extended family and royal relatives. That means it's not just her children and grandchildren attending; there are cousins and their spouses in the mix, too. The festive gathering allows the royal clan to celebrate the holiday together, especially since they won't all spend Christmas at Her Majesty's country home, Sandringham Estate.

Although photos usually aren't released from the private family luncheon, familiar faces like Prince William, Kate Middleton, Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and even Prince George were all seen arriving to the palace in the car. See all of the guest arrivals above.
