The festive season is typically a time for family gatherings and joyous celebrations.
However, not all is merry and bright within the Royal Household this year.
As the Yuletide approaches, whispers of discord echo through the palace because of a brewing rift.
Prince William and Princess Catherine of Wales reportedly considered skipping the traditional Royal Christmas festivities.
At the heart of this potential absence is an alleged feud with Queen Consort Camilla's son, Tom Parker Bowles.
According to The Daily Beast, tensions could be running high enough for Prince William and Princess Catherine to avoid the royal gathering after Camilla extended an invitation to her son.
A source close to the royal family suggested that Prince William could be uneasy about Tom's 'rather louche lifestyle as a Mayfair bon vivant'.
With Tom Parker Bowles confirming his attendance at this year's Christmas, the stage looked set for a royal rift.
In an interview with The Telegraph, Tom Parker Bowles shed some light on his usual Christmas routine.
He reminisced about spending the holiday in casual attire, visiting the pub, and sharing his favourite film, The Wild Geese, with his children.
This year, he is preparing for a significant change, as he was asked to bring a suit and a dinner jacket for the festivities.
Tom also revealed that while celebrations with the Royal Family had an open invite, he accepted it this year at his mother's behest.
'My mum said "I'd love you to come; I haven't had Christmas with you for a long time,'" he recounted.
Tom's decision to celebrate with the Royal Family came after a challenging couple of years.
Both Charles and Camilla faced health issues this year—Charles with his cancer diagnosis and Camilla recovering from pneumonia.
Despite the potential awkward encounters, Tom spoke of his mother's resilience.
'The older you get, the more conscious you become of mortality, especially with illnesses and the rest of it,' Tom stated.
As for Prince William and Princess Catherine, their decision to spend Christmas away from the Royal Gathering could be a significant departure from tradition.
However, the situation raised questions about the dynamics within the royal family and the balance between personal relationships and public duty.
