Then Prince William volunteered to work on Christmas Day in his job as a search and rescue pilot for the RAF. The RAF, Mr. Jobson said, likes to give holiday time off to men and women with families and encourages single adults to work in their stead.
Catherine Middleton went to her parents' home when she spent Christmas Day with her family "for the final time," according to Mr. Jobson, in Bucklebury, Berkshire.

Instead of targeting people based on maritial status, how about asking people of other religions to volunteer? The Christians in turn could work on holidays celebrated by Jews, Muslims, etc.
