Prince William shares the most ‘difficult’ part of Royal’s annual Christmas church trip
CHRISTMAS Day is a big deal for us Royal fans - on the one hand, we've got The Queen's annual address to look forward to and then we get to see the family arriving at church in Sandringham.
But beyond seeing them walk in, the actual service has always been a strictly private affair - until now.
In Apple+'s new podcast Time to Walk, Prince William gave insight into what happens with the Royal Family all attend the service together.
He said: "What's very good about it is that we sit opposite each other as a family.
"Growing up, having my cousins sat opposite me has always been quite difficult to keep a straight face at times.
"I have had the giggles many, many times in the service. Luckily, no one's filming it. So you can get away with it, and on Christmas Day, it's fun to have a giggle and enjoy yourself."
