Last year,Prince Williamgave some more insight into hisChristmas favorites and holiday traditionswhile appearing on a radio show.
“For me, generally, bringing the family together at Christmastime is always lovely because we’re quite spread out doing our things a lot of time throughout the year. We get very few moments to actually come together,” the Prince of Wales said. “When I see my children meet up with my cousin’s children, and they all have a wonderful time playing together, it’s very special. I look forward to that a lot.”
