The Throne

Anna's POV

"AUNTIE ANNA...AUNTIE CHRISSY" I hear a little voice yell outside our door at Sandringham Estate.

"I'll get it." Christen says as I finish wrapping the last present.

It's Christmas Eve and my family opens presents on Christmas Eve.

"Hi Auntie Chrissy." Charlotte says.

I love that my niece and nephews already love Christen.

"Hi sweetie." I hear Christen say. "You ready to open presents?"

"Yeah." Charlotte says as I grab the presents.

I then walk into towards the sound of the voices and see Charlotte dancing with Christen by the door.

"You two ready to go?" I ask with a smile.

"Yeah." Charlotte says and leads my girlfriend towards the Red Drawing Room as I lock the door.

"Wait for me." I say.

The two ladies wait for me then we walk to the Red Drawing Room where I sort out the presents into the pile for each person. A couple minutes later everyone arrives so we sit around the room and get handed our presents.

Our family does gag gifts instead of expensive gifts, like last year Kate gave me a grow your own girlfriend kit.

Christen and I decided we'd do our presents in our room later tonight so we could keep with tradition.

I may or may not have spoiled my Princess.

"Thank you for all the presents." George says and hugs me and Christen

Christen and I tried to get all of the toys on my niece and nephews list.

"Your welcome Georgie." I say as William and Harry come over.

"Christen do you want play in the charity match?" Harry asks.

"Charity match?" Christen asks

"Every Christmas eve Harry and I play in a charity football match where workers from Sandringham Estate play against villagers from nearby Castle Rising." William say.

"Oh." Christen says then looks at me.

"It's your decision." I say. "You can play or you can watch with me Kate, Meghan, and the children."

"Would it be okay with everyone if I play?" Christen asks.

"It would." Harry says. "It's competitive but, it's just a friendly game."

"What do I need to wear?" Christen asks.

"Athletic shorts, football boots, socks and we'll have a top for you." William says and Christen nods.

"We'll be there in a few minutes." I say.

I then lead my girlfriend back to our room where both of us change. Christen into what William told her to change into and I change into some warmer clothes.

"So that's why you told me to bring my football stuff." Christen says as I put on my hoodie

"Yes it is." I say and peck her lips.

Once we're both changed we head to where the football match will be played and Christen and heads over to William and Harry. Harry gives Christen her top so we go behind a tree and I block everyone's view as Christen changes into the jersey. Christen then heads to the field to warm up while I go and sit with my sister-in-laws.

"Christen's playing?" Kate asks as Charlotte climbs into my lap.

"William and Harry invited her." I say as I wrap my arms around my only niece.
