Prince William and Prince Harry defied the torrential rains on Christmas Eve to partake in an annual charity soccer match. While the brothers had a ball (pun intended), neither managed to score a goal! The royal brothers were playing for the Black Horse Inn, a pub close to William’s Anmer Hall residence.

Where are you going Will? The dad-of-two found himself climbing the walls – literally – during the soccer match! For whatever reason he was hopping that fence, he was probably able to see the funny side – in a new documentary to be aired in the UK on January 4, he and Prince Harry discuss how laughing "when things go wrong" runs in the family.Photo: GC Images

The Queen delivered her traditional Christmas message on December 25. In her speech as the UK's longest reigning monarch, she reflected on the memorable year both within the royal family and around the world. Her Majesty quipped, "I am looking forward to a busy 2016, though I have been warned I may have Happy Birthday sung to me more than once or twice." Photo: Getty Images
