This Christmas, Prince William's step-sister Laura Lopes will join the royal family at Sandringham, marking a potential shift towards family unity. With 45 guests expected, including King Charles and Queen Camilla, the gathering will be a lively affair. Laura's second Christmas appearance with the Windsors comes amidst reports of mending relationships within the extended family.
This year, as they hang their stockings with care at Sandringham , the royals are set to welcome a 'secret' step-sister into the fold - Prince William's step-sis Laura Lopes . While there's been frostiness before, according to reports, it seems this Christmas is all about family unity for the Royals.
And it appears old wounds may be closing up, as Queen Camilla’s daughter, art buff Laura, 46, clocks in her second Christmas appearance with the Windsors. Her and her brother Tom were initially part of the clan thanks to their mum's first marriage to Andrew Parker Bowles. That same year, Laura's world was transformed when her mother, Camilla, married Prince Charles in a civil ceremony near Windsor Castle. This high-profile marriage meant that she and food writer Tom became step-siblings to Princes William and Harry, a transition that wasn't always smooth.
Like her mother, Laura chose Anna Valentine for her wedding dress, which she complemented with a diamond-encrusted tiara - a family heirloom that Camilla wore during her first walk down the aisle.
