Kate and Meghan have arrived together for the Christmas Day church service in Sandringham despite rumours of a rift between the two.

The Duchess of Cambridge and the Duchess of Sussex were all smiles as they joined their husbands, the Queen and the rest of the royal family at St Mary Magdalene Church.

Hundreds of royal fans braved the cold conditions to catch a glimpse of the royals who traditionally spend the Christmas period with the Queen at Sandringham.

Many had brought bouquets of flowers or had got in the Christmas spirit by wearing Santa hats.

Most of the royals were in attendance, except for the Duke of Edinburgh and the Duchess of Cornwall.

Philip and Camilla did not join the rest of the royals as they made the short walk from the Queen’s home to the nearby church.

It is understood the duke is in good health and will spend the day relaxing privately with his family.

Camilla missed an appearance at the Olympia Horse Show last week due to a heavy cold and is believed to be still recovering from the bug.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Duke and Duchess of Sussex led the way with the Prince of Wales.

Kate and Meghan have been the subject of a series of media reports claiming there is a rift between the two duchesses.

But they walked side by side along the path that led to the church, talking together as they went.

Among the crowds this year was Karen Anvil, 40, from Watlington, Norfolk, who managed to snap a great picture of the Royals smiling as they left church last Christmas Day.

She said the photo was like a ‘lottery win’ after she posted it on social media and it went viral.

Sales of the photo have allowed her to clear her debts and take a year off from work.

Another member of public appears to have been equally lucky this year and managed to snap a picture of the two princes, their wives and Prince Charles.

This year is the second Christmas Meghan is spending with the royal family but her first as a royal herself.

Last year, she became the first non-married partner to be invited to Christmas lunch at Sandringham with the Queen.

Now the duchess is seven months into her royal life and is due to give birth to a royal baby in the spring.
