King Charles attends church in Sandringham without Queen Camilla

The King has visited St Mary Magdalene church in Sandringham for the final time before the royal family gathers for their Christmas celebrations.

He visited the morning service on the Norfolk estate without Queen Camilla on Sunday morning.

Earlier this week, it was revealed that the King's cancer treatment is expected to continue into 2025, almost a year since his diagnosis for an enlarged prostate.

He cancelled all face-to-face public duties until April but has since travelled to France for D-day commemorations and toured Australia and Samoa with the Queen.

The King and Queen will be hosting many members of their family at Sandringham on Christmas Day, with the Prince of Wales revealing recently 45 people will be “all in one room” at the royal residence.

Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, will not be joining the rest of the family and instead will be staying away from Sandringham amid the controversy surrounding his links to an alleged Chinese spy.
