It comes as the British royal family celebrated another low-key Christmas due to rising coronavirus cases.
The Queen cancelled her pre-Christmas family lunch and remained at Windsor Castle for the festive period, instead of travelling to Sandringham as tradition. She was joined by her eldest son and heir, the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall, on Christmas Day.
Meanwhile, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge celebrated Christmas at their Norfolk abode, Anmer Hall, with Kate’s parents, Carole and Michael Middleton. The Cambridges were pictured leaving a church service in Sandringham with their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
The Queen’s daughter, the Princess Royal, was unable to spend the festive season with her mother as her husband, Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence, tested positive for COVID-19 just days before Christmas.
