Queen Camilla’s Children Will Be Skipping Royal Christmas. Who Else Is On the Guest List?

Per tradition, King Charles III and Queen Camilla are preparing to spend Christmas at Sandringham in Norfolk, with the rest of the royal family. But this year, there may more absentees than attendees, due to skipped invitations and cancellations. For example, Tom Parker Bowles and Laura Lopes , the children that Camilla shares with her first husband, Andrew Parker Bowles, won’t be making the trek later this month.

Tom, a food critic , told the Daily Mail that he has other plans. “I’m not [spending Christmas at Sandringham],” he said. “Nor is my sister.” The two were there in December 2024; it seems the siblings have decided to spend Christmas with their mother’s relatives (i.e., the royal family) every second year. “It’ll be every other year, one year on, one year off,”
