William and George had to do this with Charles and the Queen first before joining up with the rest of the clan. Thanks for the additional information Julia. We're making our family Christmas pud today and the coins (we put 5 pieces) are parchment wrapped and ready to be mixed with the batter before steaming. Those who were near at hand gave it a stir too.<br />Anon 9:13Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2065972902087062391.post-20539634136013962332019-12-23T16:42:31.169+00:002019-12-23T16:42:31.169+00:00I disagree - I don't think anyone needs dismis...I disagree - I don't think anyone needs dismissing. It's the symbolism of 4 generations of monarch and future monarchs plus the very British tradition of giving the pudding a stir (as described by Julia). I certainly don't think either the Queen or Charles ever make a Christmas pudding in their real lives so I don't expect them to dress as if it's something they would do. I can see William mucking in in the kitchen and George "helping out" but they are dressed smartly because the photo opportunity to support this lovely initiative was just before the family Christmas lunch.

It used to be traditional - perhaps still is for some families, that every family member give the pudding a stir - then make a wish and add a sixpence. That's what we're seeing here. The wooden spoon is part of the tradition. <br /><br />It's not intended as a cooking demonstration - the stir is just for luck. Rather sad that something that used to be the norm is now considered almost alien but few families will make their own puddings these days let alone follow a custom like this. <br /><br />The royal family represents traditional customs and values that may seem almost archaic elsewhere - in this case, the pudding is for a lovely cause, representing the many puddings that will be distributed next Christmas.
