December has been one for the royal books. I'm talking Kate Middleton and Prince William releasing their Christmas card, Will (once again) skipping a certain holiday tradition and the palace dropping a surprise interview with the future monarch.

Kate Middleton refused to invite Prince Andrew to her annual Christmas concert and even rejected the idea of seating him "behind a pillar," according to royal columnist Ephraim Hardcastle.

Meanwhile, Hello! reports that Prince William hopped on the phone with a protection officer when he realized Kate had been left behind, and that they were seen chatting as the Princess of Wales caught up with the group.
