King Charles has reportedly enforced a strict rule this Christmas, prohibiting younger members of the royal family from taking photographs and selfies during the festive celebrations at Sandringham. Traditionally, the monarch and the royal family gather at Sandringham Estate in Norfolk for Christmas, and this year, King Charles, Queen Camilla, Prince William, Kate Middleton, and their three children are expected to participate.
According to OK!, only royals with official social media accounts will have the privilege to post during the festivities. All other photographs or videos will be taken by a professional and must be approved by the Buckingham Palace communications team. The decision aims to protect senior members of the royal family, ensuring that only controlled and authorized images are shared publicly.
The report states that “there will be no mobile phones, photographs, or selfies taken at the lunch table this year. Only controlled and approved images will see the light of day from the celebrations.” The measure is particularly crucial considering the presence of teenagers at the event who are likely to be active on social media. The intention is to avoid unexpected photos or videos from appearing online.
The royal family’s Christmas guest list is extensive this year, with some attendees not closely connected to the family. The occasion is being treated as a formal event for the first time, emphasizing the importance of everyone adhering to their best behavior. Additionally, Queen Camilla’s children, grandchildren, and sister are reported to join the royal family at Sandringham for the Christmas celebrations.
