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?

People say that in the early 1960s, before every show, Patsy always saved her last quiet minutes backstage for her children. She believed that one quick hug from them was enough to remind her how to sing with her whole heart. One night in Nashville, just seconds before she walked onstage, her little boy grabbed the fringe on her sleeve and whispered: “Mama, don’t go too far.” Patsy smiled, knelt down to straighten his tiny bolo tie, and told him: “I’ll only go far enough for you to be proud of me.” That night, when she sang “Crazy,” her voice was so full and haunting that even the band standing behind her fell completely silent.

Ronnie whispered it at first, then let it crack open the whole room: “This song reminds me who I am.” The lights around him were soft and gold, the kind that make every shadow feel honest. And when he stepped into “Neon Moon,” something shifted. His voice wasn’t loud, but it carried years — the kind you don’t talk about, only feel. No big screens. No fireworks. Just a man holding onto a song that once held onto him. And for a moment, everyone in that crowd felt themselves in it too.
