The reason Prince Louis doesn't eat Christmas lunch with other royals

Prince Louis, Prince George and Princess Charlotte do not eat their Christmas lunch with other members of the Royal Family.

Instead, they sit in a separate room and tuck into their festive feast, according to Mike Tindall, who's married to Zara Phillips, the daughter of Anne.

All this came to light when the former rugby player spoke about the celebrations with The Good, The Bad & The Rugby co-stars James Haskell and Alex Payne, writes The Mirror.

The pair asked Mike where he usually sits during his meal during a podcast interview back in 2019.

One said: "Do you find yourself upgrading every year and getting closer to the main table or are you off out the back?

"Is there a promotion and relegation based on the year's performance? Because if there is I imagine you're pretty much sitting on the right-hand side of Her Majesty,"

Mike replied: "I was on Prince Charles's table, it was lovely."

He added: "This is the family lunch, there were seven tables so there must have been about 70 of us there. The kiddies have their own little one in a different room."

The Royal Family announced in Monday their plans for the festive season, their first Christmas without The Queen.

Things will be kept in line with the Royal family's traditions, as King Charles and Queen Camilla will be joined by other royals for a morning church service in Sandringham.

It's not yet known who exactly will be attending as those details are yet to be announced, but it is likely William and Kate will be there with their three children.
