Kate Middleton and Prince William give thanks to key workers

Kate, Duchess of Cambridge, and Prince William have come under fire after having been photographed at an outdoor event they attended with their children close to Sophie, Countess of Wessex, Prince Edward and their son and daughter. The nine royals have been accused of attending Luminate, a Christmas light show at Sandringham in a party of nine people.

However, current Government regulations for Tier 2 areas only allow a maximum of six people from different households to meet outdoor. 

A source at Sandringham, where Kate and William have their second home, Anmer Hall, explained the Cambridges and the Wessexes arrived at the event in two separate parties and did not mean to attend it together. 

They said: “The two families were given separate consecutive slots to visit the trail just before it opened to the general public.

“They arrived, and departed in their own family groups.”  

However, the source conceded there could have been moments during which the nine people came closer than they meant to, due to bottleneck areas and lively children within their parties. 

The insider added: “As anyone with young children will know, there were moments on the 90-minute walk where it was difficult to keep the two family groups apart particularly at bottlenecks on the trail.”
