New Year’s Eve in Windsor

On December 20, Windsor’s traditional New Year’s dinner was held at the same time, which was organized every year on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, in the town of Sandrigham. All members of the royal family were invited, including the siblings of King Charles III, Princess Anne and her husband Timothy Lawrence, Prince Edward and Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh and even Prince Andrew. Also there were Zara and Mike Tyndall, Princess Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank.
