- THIS will break with tradition
Change is jingling all the way to Sandringham this Yuletide as King Charles (75) and his consort, Queen Camilla (76), are flipping the royal script! For the first time ever, Camilla's clan is snagging an invite to the crème de la crème of Christmas lunches, as reported by 'ITV's royal sleuth, Chris Ship.
A festive family affair
The royal Christmas Day routine is getting a makeover, folks! The usual church parade to St. Mary Magdalene will have a few extra VIPs. Camilla's kiddos – food writer Tom Parker Bowles and art curator Laura Lopes – are on the guest list, and they're bringing the merry to the royal table.

Out with the old and in with the new! The royal dining room is passé as the ballroom becomes the hotspot for holiday feasting. Ship spills the tea, quoting a source: "The Queen has invited her children and grandchildren this year, which is different from previous years."
Royal companions and controversial guests
Queen Camilla's sister, Annabel Elliot, a trusted "companion" at official dos, is expected to grace the coronation with her presence. And guess who else is popping by for pudding? None other than Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, who's no stranger to the limelight, having just hosted ITV's 'This Morning' show.
The Palace is keeping schtum on the festive reshuffle, but it's clear that Camilla won't be dashing off post-turkey to be with her brood – they're coming to her!
Royal biographer Ingrid Seward dishes to 'PEOPLE' that Queen Camilla is ready to reign over the festivities, ensuring King Charles isn't flying solo on his inaugural Christmas as monarch.
