This Christmas, the Royal Family will get together at Sandringham with about 45 other people. Prince William’s step-sister Laura Lopes is one of them. She has been asked to the party for the second time.
Laura, who is an art director and the daughter of Queen Camilla, has had a rough patch with Prince William in the past. Reports say they had “terrible fights” about the past of their parents. William blamed Camilla for the harm she caused his mother, Princess Diana. But it looks like old scars have healed, and Laura is now welcome at the royal family’s Christmas party.
Laura’s attendance at the event shows that the mixed family is trying to get along and forget about their problems. Her three children, Eliza, Gus, and Louis, will also be there. They have been to a number of high-profile royal events before. Eliza was a bridesmaid at the wedding of Prince William and Princess Kate.
The family is still recovering from a hard year, so the chance to get together and party with friends and family will be very welcome. “After what they’ve been through this year, I’m sure it will mean the world to the King and Queen to have as many of their family members as possible join them for Christmas,” said Jennie Bond, who used to cover the royal family for BBC.
