Jennie Bond told OK! Newsweek that Sandringham may no longer host "the two or three-day events of the past."

She thinks "the younger royals will undoubtedly want to spend time with their own families," but the Sandringham celebration will likely be smaller.

"While I imagine there will be a celebration at Sandringham, whether it will be as long as it used to be with the Queen and with a similar number of people,

I'm not sure," she continued. "Without the Queen linchpin holding united another often family, they may simply decide to go their own thing."

William and Kate have spent Christmas with Queen Elizabeth for the past few years instead of the Middleton family at Sandringham. Royal expert Katie Nicholl told OK! in 2021.

"Kate sacrifices because Christmas is very important for the Middleton household, but they put The Majesty first and make sure they are there on Xmas Eve and Xmas Day at Sandringham."

The royal family and the Middletons may spend more time together since Prince George, 9, Princess Charlotte, 7, and Prince Louis, 4, are old enough to enjoy Christmas.

It's sad to see Queen Elizabeth II's traditions disappear, but Kate and William should establish their memories.
