"She's confident in their company and really enjoyed herself."

Among the 50 guests who attended were Prince Harry, Prince Charles, the Duchess of Cornwall,Zara and Peter Phillips and his wife Autumn Kelly.

Some of the invitees won't be able to make it to Sandringham – the Queen's private estate in Norfolk – for Christmas.

Prince William won't be there as he's working as a RAF search and rescue pilot.

Kate, meanwhile, will be spending one last Christmas with her family.
