New Year’s Eve is here again and what a big year it has been for the British royal family.
The King and Queen celebrated their coronation in May and Charles marked the first year of his reign in September.
There have been plenty of royal firsts and milestones throughout the year – from the Prince and Princess of Wales’s new military roles and Prince Louis’ first official engagement.
There has also been a new addition to the family with the arrival of Princess Eugenie’s second child, baby Ernest, in May.
So as we look back at 2023, remember to raise your glass like these royals and look forward to an exciting year in 2024.

The late Queen attended hundreds of state banquets and formal dinners during her 70-year reign, but she shared a particularly warm friendship with US President Ronald Reagan and his wife, Nancy.
The Queen and Prince Philip travelled to California for an official visit in 1983, where they were greeted by unusually bad weather.
During her speech at a formal dinner, the Queen made the President roar with laughter as she quipped: “I knew before we came that we had exported many of our traditions to the United States. But I had not realised before that weather was one of them.”
