The Royal Palace is reportedly planning a grand Christmas Eve celebration this year, with Queen Elizabeth herself hosting it. However, Kate Middleton's parents have not been sent an invitation for this event, according to a new report.

OK magazine reports that the event would be hosted by Queen Elizabeth II at her Sandringham Estate. According to this report, the Duchess of Cambridge's parents are not attending this grand Christmas celebrations. An insider has told OK that Carole and Michael Middleton will be at Anmer Hall to see their grandson, Prince George, but they have not received an invitation to attend the grand Christmas celebration. Even though Duchess Kate does not like it, she cannot do anything to change the situation either, the insider told the magazine. "It's embarrassing for Kate," the insider said to OK, "but that's life with the clan."

It is Queen Elizabeth, 88, who decides who is on the guest-list. She has the final say on who will be attending the event hosted by her. The Christmas Eve dinner,which reportedly has roast turkey and plum pudding on the menu, is apparently for the royal family only.

Aside from the Royal celebrations, the Queen's annual speech is also much-anticpated. The speech is going to be aired on BBC 1 at 3pm. It is being expected that the speech is going to be groundbreaking. Many are betting that Her Majesty will announce her abdication during her annual speech. However, many Royal insiders have snubbed such rumours and speculations. Earlier this year, King Juan Carlos of Spain abdicated after 40 years on the throne. He made this announcement during a televised speech.

Last week, the Queen rode the public transport to reach Sandringham Estate, catching her co-passengers unaware. The trip has become a regular annual event for the Queen. She rides the train at London's Kings Cross Station so that the she can reach Sandringham Estate, the quickest way possible. She only need to wait 1 hour and 40 minute to reach King Lynn's station in Norfolk, which is right near the Estate.

UPDATE: The Queen did not abdicate on her Christmas speech. Rather, she calls for reconciliation and forgiveness. On the other hand, Kate Middleton's parents should not have worried, as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge found the perfect solution to be with them on Christmas, breaking tradition in the process. Mail Online UK reported that Kate Middleton and Prince William attended Church with the Queen, but headed back to their Norfolk mansion to have dinner with Kate MIddleton's parents.
