The Queen 's Christmas bubble is said to be set for Christmas Day and the royal family have come up with an 'ingenious' plan to be able to spend Boxing Day together.
The royals usually gather at Sandringham in Norfolk to exchange presents on Christmas Eve before going to church together the next day.
But this year government guidelines say that only three households are allowed to celebrate together.
It's claimed Prince Edward and his family will be one of the family's in the Queen's Christmas bubble.
A source told the Daily Mail: "Prince Edward and his family will be one of the two in her bubble."
The Queen is said to be particularly close to Edward's wife, Sophie and the Earl of Wessex is the youngest of her children.
Is it not yet known who will be the third household.
Although, courtiers think they may have come up with an ingenious plan to keep everyone happy by still going ahead with the family's traditional Boxing Day shoot.
The source added: "The royal family's traditional Boxing Day shoot could still take place, enabling them to see members of the family unable to join them on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day."
Shoots can legally take place as they are classified as organised outdoor sports, so up to 30 royals could be in attendance.
It's claimed that this would work well for Prince Charles and Camilla also spend Christmas with her two children and five grandchildren and wouldn't be able to do this if she was in the Queen's bubble.
The same to applies to Prince William and Kate, who spend time with her parents, Michael and Carole Middleton, and her siblings, Pippa and James.
