Aside from the Spanish royals, it was revealed last week that Kate Middleton ’s mother Carole Middleton is a Star Wars fan. Ahead of The Rise of Skywalker’s release (December 20), Prince George ’s maternal grandmother showed off her playful side engaging in an epic lightsaber battle . “We’re so excited about Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker releasing today! Carole and Steven even battled it out with two of our inflatable space sabers during the Party Pieces Christmas lunch this week! . #starwars #maytheforcebewithyou #partypieces #lightsaber #partysupplies #riseofskywalker #jedi #jedimaster,” the video was captioned.

The recent holiday movie date came just a few days after Leonor, 14, and Sofia, 12, began their winter break. The Spanish Princesses will resume school on January 8. The royals are set to celebrate Christmas Eve at their residence, Zarzuela Palace.
Earlier this month, Letizia and Felipe released their annual Christmas card . The photo featuring themselves with their two daughters was taken in October during the family’s visit to the village of Asiegu. The card, which was signed by the monarchs and Princesses, read: “Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2020.”
