11 Christmas Traditions the Kids of the Royal Family Do Every Year

The Earl and Countess of Wessex, Prince Edward and his wife, Sophie, frequently spend at least one day before Christmas at the Christmas Meeting Ascot Racecourse with their children — James, Viscount Severn and Lady Louise Windsor — as well as Zara Tindall's daughter, Mia. The horse races, which are famously called the Royal Ascot, take place every June, but they also have a Christmas racing weekend, which the children love to attend. They watch the horse races and participate in other holiday festivities on the grounds.
