Kate Middleton and Prince William have found themselves in the hot seat yet again after reportedly breaking coronavirus guidelines during an outing over the weekend.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were photographed with their three children (Prince George , Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis ) exploring the Luminate trail on Sandringham Estate in Norfolk, where the royals typically spend Christmas together.

Prince Edward and Sophie, Countess of Wessex, were also spotted with their two children, Lady Louise and James, Viscount Severn, walking with the Cambridge family as they all toured the trail, apparently together.

The Daily Mail , which featured exclusive pictures of the group walking together, pointed out that the families mixing was a violation of the United Kingdoms pandemic guidelines. Norfolk is currently under Tier 2 restrictions , which bar separate households from socializing outdoors if their numbers total more than six people .
