Majestic move
THE King’s Christmas message urging families to “connect” was proudly put into action at Sandringham yesterday.
His Majesty looked delighted to be flanked by those closest to him at the Royal Family’s annual church outing.
Leading the way in putting on a united front after another turbulent year were William and Kate.
Seeing them enjoying their walkabout with George, Charlotte and Louis would have put a smile on the faces of royal well-wishers everywhere.
The importance of family was all around the King this year.
And his address — encouraging old and young alike to enjoy a digital detox away from social media and phone screens during the festivities — will also have struck a chord with frazzled mums and dads.

The ghost at every royal Christmas feast over the last decade — Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor — still lingered.
But his absence was a welcome relief from the air of sleaze that has accompanied his public appearances.

Detainees at Campsfield House near Oxford get devices with their personal number and guaranteed wi-fi. Why?
What’s wrong with some of them spending some of the weekly cash they are given on a pay-phone?
There is something deeply broken about the Home Office still treating every arrival like a desperate refugee despite overwhelming evidence that the vast majority are young male economic migrants hoping to get work.
Families who forked out hundreds of pounds for phones for their kids this Christmas will be entitled to feel robbed.
Farmer harmer
WHAT a shocking toll of broken families left in the wake of the senseless family farms tax.
More than 6,200 farming businesses have closed since Rachel Reeves slapped inheritance tax on family farms worth more than £1million.
Keir Starmer may have U-turned — raising the threshold to £2.5million.
But it means the pain and sacrifice behind every one of those closures has been for nothing.
