Every year, just before she leaves for Sandringham to celebrate <a href=/tags/0/christmas><strong>Christmas</a></strong>, <strong><a href=/tags/0/queen-elizabeth-ii>the Queen</a></strong> hosts a special lunch at Buckingham Palace for her family members. <p>The Cambridge family were among the first to arrive at the Palace for the festivities, with <strong><a href=/tags/0/kate-middleton>Duchess Kate</A></strong> waving behind the wheel as she drove up to Her Majesy's residence. <p><strong>Scroll through the gallery (or click through if you're on desktop) to see the best photos of the <a href=/tags/0/british-royals>Royal Family</a>'s arrival!</strong> <p>Photo: &copy; Shutterstock
