Kate's husband, Prince William, did not attend as he is on a four-day official visit to Kuwait and Oman.

Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, were also absent from the reception. They are taking a break from royal duties to enjoy family time over the holidays, a royal source told ABC News.
