This sit-down meal attended by the Royal Family typically takes place annually on the Wednesday before Christmas.

This year it is occurring at Windsor Castle, right before the monarch leaves for Sandringham for the festive season.

The tradition is one of the rare times when all the monarch's extended family meet.

It is also a chance for King Charles, 75, to celebrate with those who do not receive an invitation to spend Christmas in Norfolk with the senior royals.

The family will be sat at round tables today, enjoying a Sandringham-bred turkey lunch.

Lady Louise currently attends the University of St Andrews in Scotland where she is studying English Literature.

However, it appears the 20-year-old is back with her family for Christmas.

Last year's Christmas lunch saw the family brought together in the largest reunion since Queen Elizabeth II's funeral in September 2022.

It was the first time the traditional gathering had taken place since 2019, due to the coronavirus pandemic.

In 2021, the late monarch had planned to welcome 50 family members to Windsor Castle, but the event was cancelled due to fears over the Omicron Covid variant.

The lunch was also cancelled in December 2020 during lockdown.
