Speaking to Woman and Home, Kate said the first Christmas without Derek will be “difficult”. She has opened up about the advice she’s given to her daughter Darcey, 18, and son Billy, 15.
The Good Morning Britain presenter said: “This Christmas will be difficult, as all the firsts are, but I’ve said to the kids, ‘Let’s do what feels right, do some new things and make new memories.’ Maybe we’ll go to midnight Mass on Christmas Eve?
“You’ve got to try and let things evolve into new memories, and I’m going to be led by them. It will be our first Christmas without Derek, but to be honest, the last four or five Christmases have been challenging, although we’ve also had the joy of having Derek there with us.”
