Kate Middleton has turned down an invitation from Britain's Queen Elizabeth to spend Christmas with the royal family.
Although reportedly "delighted" by the invite, it is the second year running Prince William's girlfriend has failed to accept the offer to join senior royals at Sandringham.
Kate and William are rumoured to be planning to announce their engagement next April, so Kate wants to spend a final festive season with her own family.
A source told Britain's Daily Mail newspaper: "Kate is honoured to have been invited to Sandringham but she knows this may be the last Christmas she can have with her family on her own."

Meanwhile, the 26-year-old was approached by modelling scouts at Nelson Mandela's 90th birthday concert in London on Friday (27.06.08).
