Queen Camilla got in some Christmas shopping at one of Queen Elizabeth II's favorite luxury shops.

Camilla, 77, was spotted at London department store Fortnum and Mason Tuesday afternoon by an eagle-eyed shopper, who observed the royal consort perusing tins of tea, according to DailyMail.

The onlooker told the outlet that Camilla chose a tin of cinnamon and orange black tea, which he said retails for £13.95 (approximately $17.57).

Located next to the Ritz Hotel in London, Fortnum and Mason has long been a favorite place for members of the royal family to buy Christmas presents.

"Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II continued the family tradition of doing Christmas shopping in store, which had to be arranged months in advance," the company's website states.

Like Camilla, Elizabeth liked to give tea as a present.

"The list of provisions provided for her and her mother to give as presents reveal a shared practical bent of mind, with breakfast trays, breakfast sets, garden furniture and hostess trolleys being particularly popular," the site adds.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle showed off a new member of their family in their 2024 holiday card.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex released the card on Monday, a little over a week before Christmas. In addition to featuring the first photo of their children Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3, that the couple have shared since 2022, the festive card also marked the first time the royals have been photographed with the newest addition to their family, their rescue dog Momma Mia.

Harry, 40, and Meghan, 43, adopted the elderly beagle in August 2022 from the Beagle Freedom Project rescue facility in the San Fernando Valley area of Los Angeles, just a couple hours away far from their home in Montecito.

Mia was one of 4,000 beagles that the Beagle Freedom Project rescued in July of that year from a Virginia breeding facility owned by a company called Envigo RMS.

King Charles III awarded director Christopher Nolan and his wife and producer Emma Thomas with major honors on Wednesday.

The monarch, 76, granted the "Oppenheimer" director, 54, a knighthood and Thomas, 53, a damehood in a ceremony at Buckingham Palace.

The royal family posted photos of the couple's investiture on X and Instagram.

"Arise, Sir Christopher Nolan and Dame Emma Thomas!" the posts read.

Nolan and Thomas, who have worked together on all of the movies Nolan has directed since 1997 (with the exception of Nolan's 2015 short film "Quay"), were recognized "for their extraordinary contribution to Film, with their partnership producing major blockbusters such as The Dark Knight trilogy and Oppenheimer."

Nolan spoke about meeting The King after the ceremony.

"He said he had seen 'Oppenheimer' and enjoyed it," Nolan remarked, according to DailyMail.

"It was very nice that he knew our work and was aware of it, and, yes, he was hoping that I would take this as encouragement to do more of it."

Prince Andrew won't be at his brother King Charles III's traditional pre-Christmas lunch.

The Duke of York, 64, "reached the decision after discussing the matter" with his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, who is also skipping the event, according to People.

Ferguson, 65, reportedly told Andrew that not going to the lunch amid his involvement in the Chinese spy scandal "was the right move."

The former couple, as well as their daughters, Beatrice and Eugenie, also aren't going to the royal family's Christmas gathering at Sandringham on Dec. 25.

Andrew is under scrutiny after one of his ex-staffers was accused of being a Chinese spy and was banned from entering the UK for security concerns.

The prince has said he “ceased all contact” with the alleged spy.

Like their parents, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie are not going to the royal family's Christmas gathering at Sandringham later this month.

Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson's daughters are spending the holiday with their respective in-laws, according to People.

The outlet reported that the sisters made their alternative Christmas plans before Andrew, 64, withdrew from the event amid his involvement in the Chinese spy scandal.

Andrew and his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, are expected to stay home at Royal Lodge in Windsor Park on Christmas.

Prince Andrew will not be joining his brother King Charles III and other members of the royal family for Christmas this year.

Instead, the Duke of York, 64, will “honourably withdraw” from the royal family’s Christmas celebrations at their estate in Sandringham, England to avoid being a distraction, according to the BBC.

It is expected that Andrew will remain home at Royal Lodge in Windsor Park — the palatial estate he has fought to remain in after King Charles attempted to evict him.

Andrew’s bowing out comes after a British high court hearing last week heard evidence suggesting that an alleged Chinese spy banned from the UK was a “close” confidant of the prince.

On Monday, businessman Yang Tenbo, also known as Chris Yang, was revealed to be the alleged Chinese operative after a judge lifted an anonymity order that had kept his identity under wraps.

Yang has denied the accusations of espionage leveled against him, saying in a statement that he had “done nothing wrong or unlawful and the concerns raised by the Home Office against me are ill-founded.”

Prince Andrew allegedly couldn’t take his eyes off a young woman’s cleavage during an official Crown engagement two decades ago, leaving her creeped out by the royal, according to a new report.

The unidentified events manager, who was 24 at the time, told The Sun she met Prince Andrew at an appearance with a doctor she was working for.

“He wouldn’t leave me alone,” the “slim, blonde, and attractive” lass told the outlet, adding Andrew “seemed a lot more inclined to speak to me than the middle-aged female MD.”

“He was more interested in looking at my boobs than learning about our business,” she added after The Sun showed her a photo from the engagement in which the royal seemingly gazes downward at her breasts while she looks straight ahead.

“I must have been listening to my MD talk and was looking her way, so hadn’t noticed him staring,” she said.

“Andrew obviously had other things on his mind.”

Meghan Markle’s latest venture may be on the back burner.

After the 43-year-old and her husband, Prince Harry, 40, signed a $100 million deal with Netflix, the pair put out their latest project, “Polo.”

The five-part docuseries follows the lives of the elite equestrian players — on and off the field — but many viewers were left unimpressed.

After reports surfaced that Markle will launch her own Netflix show centered around “cooking, gardening and entertaining” in “early 2025,” per Page Six, the series could be in jeopardy.

A release date has yet to be announced for the show — which was originally set to complement American Riviera Orchard, the lifestyle brand created by Markle in 2024.

A Netflix insider told the Daily Mail on Tuesday that the Duchess of Sussex’s cooking show may never come to fruition, while others claimed it could happen if it boosts her lifestyle brand.

The source told the outlet it would be “make or break” for Markle and Harry, who have ambitions of building a TV empire.

However, following “Polo,” the insider revealed: “There won’t be another deal. There may be one-offs but that’s it.”

Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson revealed what her final moments with Queen Elizabeth II were like before the monarch died in September 2022.

Ferguson, 65, said in a new interview with the Times that Elizabeth's final words to her were, "Sarah, remember that yourself is good enough."

Elizabeth died at age 96 at Balmoral Castle in Scotland. The queen's son Prince Andrew was married to Ferguson from 1986 to 1996, and they share daughters Beatrice and Eugenie.

"She knew me all my life and she loved me,” Ferguson said about Elizabeth.

Ferguson admitted that she was always "nervous" about meeting with her late mother-in-law despite their long history.

"She was the queen of England," said Ferguson.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's 2024 Christmas card is at the center of wild conspiracy theories.

Some social media users are claiming that the Sussexes' photo of their kids, Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3, in the card is not real.

The conspiracists claim the couple either used AI or "borrowed" other children to portray Archie and Lilibet.

But photographer Glenn Gratton dismissed the claims that the photo is AI-generated.

Gratton did, however, did tell the Daily Mail that Harry and Meghan's picture with their kids "is very staged" to "make them look like the perfect family."

British Photoshop expert James Middleton (no relation to Kate Middleton) told the Daily Mail that the image on the card is "far too small" to determine the authenticity of the picture.

Happy holidays from the Sussexes!

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle released their 2024 Christmas card on Monday with a brand new photo of their kids Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3.

In the picture, Archie and Lilibet — both donning red hair – run towards their parents. The family's three dogs are also in the photo.

The Christmas card also features five snapshots of Harry, 40, and Meghan, 43, from their trips to Nigeria and Colombia earlier this year.

“We wish you a very happy holiday season and a joyful new year,” the message on the card says.

Prince Andrew may have to miss this year's royal family Christmas party because of his involvement in the Chinese spy scandal.

The BBC reported that Andrew's attendance at the annual event is now at risk after one of his ex-staffers was accused of being a Chinese spy.

According to The Times, palace insiders think the disgraced royal, 64, “should do the decent thing and voluntarily withdraw from public view over Christmas."

Sources also suggested that the decision to ban Andrew from the holiday party is “really hard” for King Charles III, 76, and that there's hopes that Andrew will do his brother a solid and pull out of the event himself.

Andrew has claimed he “ceased all contact” with his former staffer.
