According to tradition, several royal families from Christian countries took the opportunity to visit churches this Christmas. On Christmas Day, among others, King Harald (86) and Queen Sonja (86) attended the service in Holmenkollen Chapel, while their British relatives went to Sandringham Church.

Here were King Charles (75) and Queen Camilla (76) attending the annual service. Prince William (41), Duchess Kate (41) and their three children, Princess Charlotte (8), Prince George (10) and Prince Louis (5) also went to the famous church.

– Even though times change, younger guys’ pants are considered something middle class. “No self-respecting royal wants to be seen as someone from the middle class,” he further told the magazine.
Prince William and King Charles were also often seen wearing shorts when they were young.
