Reports about the royal family are drawing fresh attention this week, with new headlines suggesting that Prince William and Princess Catherine may not be attending King Charles’ traditional Christmas lunch this year.

Happy Holidays, someone get Netflix’s The Crown on the phone, because there’s even more drama than usual over in Buckingham Palace. And by that we mean Prince William is allegedly skipping King Charles’ annual Christmas lunch. Again.

Rob Shuter’s ShuterScoop reports that between “nonstop disagreements” and “icy moments,” Prince William’s decided to spend the day with Kate Middleton’s family instead of the royals.

Per a source, “William and the family will dutifully go to church with big smiles plastered on, but they’re not expected for lunch at the big house. It’s been an extremely difficult year for William and Catherine.”

ShuterScoop also reports that King Charles plans to invite his disgraced brother to lunch—a pretty shocking move, if true. (Reminder: the royals do Christmas in Sandringham, where Prince Andrew is soon to be exiled.)

Last year, there were reports that William and Kate hosted their own “rival” and more “middle class” (um, kay) Christmas at their home in what was described as a “coup” against King Charles. Apparently, the couple were worried that certain royal traditions made them look “weird,” and a friend told the Daily Beast that “there’s always been a slightly covert, rival Christmas party at [William and Kate’s] house, but it’s going to be much more obvious this year. If they post pictures, it’ll be an official coup attempt.”

I mean…guess it wouldn’t be the holidays without some family drama?
