"I think for them it will very emotional this year and I've no doubt there are tears that will be shed on the day or the night before because they will be remembering her," Grant Harrold, who previously worked for King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla, said in a new interview. "But I'm sure as well it will be a fun time for the youngsters and it will also carry on how the Queen would have wanted it to."

"Knowing what the King is like, I think he will try to mirror everything that has been done in the past," he shared. "But what is interesting is, I don't think he will stay [at Sandringham] until February like the Queen used to do to mark her own father's passing. I don't see him doing that, and I don't think his schedule will allow it."

This year, William and Kate, who got married in 2011, dressed down for their card.

"Sharing a new picture of the family for this year’s Christmas card! 🎄," the duo captioned the sweet photo.

However, some thought the card was a dig at Meghan Markle, 41, who claimed Harry's brother and sister-in-law are prim and proper.

"When Will and Kate came over and I had met her for the first time... They came for dinner," Meghan said in the Netflix series, Harry & Meghan, which first dropped on Thursday, December 8.

"I remember I was in ripped jeans and I was barefoot. I was a hugger, always been a hugger," she said, adding that she “didn't realize that that is really jarring for a lot of Brits."
