Charles has decided that with the traditional Sandringham celebrations canceled, he will celebrate Christmas with Camilla at their Gloucestershire home before travelling to Windsor for a second Christmas celebration with the Queen and Prince Philip, who are self-isolating at Windsor Castle.
Courtiers are relieved that the Queen and the Duke, who were preparing for a much quieter Christmas than usual will be able to see some family members, and Charles is expected to be one of the first to visit even if it will be a socially distanced visit.
Meanwhile the Duchess of Cornwall will head to her home Ray Mill in Wiltshire, where Camilla hosts a Christmas lunch for her children Tom and Laura and her grandchildren every year after the traditional Christmas Day feast at Sandringham. When Camilla heads to Ray Mill House Charles plans to travel to Windsor Castle to pay his parents a brief festive visit.
