The Royal Christmas Guest List Is Seriously Huge Chris Jackson - Getty Images

If you've been following along at home, you know the royal family Christmas plans for this year have been up in the air for months now. First, the news broke that Prince William and Kate Middleton were (maybe) hosting a rival Christmas party at their own home rather than joining the rest of the family in Sandringham. Then there was all that drama about whether or not Queen Camilla's son Tom Parker-Bowles would attend Christmas (and sorry, Will, but it seems like the answer is yes). Now the Prince of Wales is finally setting the record straight.

During a recent visit with soldiers in Bulford, Wiltshire, Will confirmed that he, Kate, and their three children would be joining the fam in Sandringham in planned—and apparently, the massive guest list had been finalized.

"We’ll be in Norfolk, at Sandringham," he revealed during the outing, via People. "We'll be 45 for Christmas. It won't be quiet, it will be noisy." Uh, 45 guests?? I'm going to need to see that list ASAP.

And when asked whether he was prepared for the chaos, Wills gave this lol response: "Am I ready for Christmas? No, no way am I ready." Relatable.

Despite the rumors, it seems like the most of the royal family will be following tradition this year...though the question begs: Are Meghan Markle and Prince Harry included in that list of 45 guests? Between the never-ending feud with the family and Harry's concerns about his family's security in England, I wouldn't hold your breath for an appearance by the Sussexes—especially since they reportedly didn't receive an invite.

That said, it was rumored a while back that Harry's uncle, Earl Spencer, had invited Meghan and Harry to stay for Christmas, so there is a chance they could be in England...just not with the royals.
