Cheers to the new year! King and Queen say goodbye to 2023 by attending the last Sunday service of the year at Sandringham

The King and Queen wrapped up warm in thick coats and gloves as they attended the last Sunday service of the year at Sandringham today.

The monarch, 75, and Queen Camilla, 76, have spent the Christmas season with their family in Norfolk, and it looks like the festivities will continue throughout New Year’s Eve.

But before welcoming the New Year with their family, the royal couple arrived at the Church of St. Mary Magdalene on Sunday to attend the final service of 2023.

King Charles and Queen Camilla were greeted by members of the clergy as they arrived at the church, which is located on the Sandringham estate itself.

Both royals had tried to beat off the December chill with heavy coats and carried umbrellas as the threat of rain continued throughout the weekend.

Camilla opted for a light blue coat, which she combined with a matching hat.

She completed her elegant ensemble with black heeled boots and leather-look gloves, and kept her hair neatly tucked under her hat.

The king kept his outfit simple: a long, dark brown coat and blue trousers.

He completed his look with a pair of brown dress shoes and a white shirt.

It comes as Queen Camilla revealed she is absolutely ‘hopeless’ at imitating Harry Potter characters when reading to her grandchildren.

The 76-year-old has delved into her literary favorites in a new podcast series called The Queen’s Reading Room, which will be released weekly from January 8.

Discussing her love of stories about the young wizard, she revealed that her husband, King Charles, is a much better impressionist who can “do all the voices.”

When asked which books the Queen preferred to read to her grandchildren, she said: ‘I think the one I most enjoyed reading was Harry Potter… all the stories.

“I can’t impersonate voices for love or money. I’m completely hopeless at it. I was a very bad actor at school and I never mastered the art of mimicry.

‌’But my husband, he does a brilliant job, he can do all the voices.’

The Queen, who has five grandchildren, said she will tell listeners on her new podcast what her all-time favorite books are in the eight-part series.

Queen Camilla has revealed she is absolutely ‘hopeless’ at impersonating Harry Potter characters

Last week, a BBC documentary gave people a behind-the-scenes look at the royal family during Charles III’s coronation year.

In the film, the Queen’s sister told the couple are ‘yin and yang’, but make an extremely formidable team.

Annabel Elliot described her sister as the King’s ‘rock’, while Camilla’s close friend Lady Lansdowne said the fact the couple had to ‘fight’ to be together has only strengthened their unshakable ‘bond’.

And speaking publicly for the first time about the long relationship between the king and queen, Princess Anne – not known for her emotional exuberance – gave her sister-in-law the royal seal of approval.

‘I’ve known her for a long time. “Her understanding of the role and how much difference it makes to the King has been absolutely excellent,” she said.

The Queen said it is her favorite book to read to her grandchildren, but her husband is ‘better’ at doing the voices
