The three children of the Prince and Princess of Wales, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, always steal the spotlight when there’s a major family outing. At Trooping the Colour this year, the public fell in love with little Louis’ cheeky moments and, at the Christmas carol service, royal fans couldn’t help but admire ten-year-old Charlotte’s style tribute to her late grandmother, Princess Diana – and Christmas Day is never an exception.
The royal trio joined their parents, as well as other senior members of the British royal family for the traditional Christmas Day walkabout following the morning service at Sandringham Church on Thursday, 25 December.
Prince George, 12, led the siblings as he looked incredibly smart in a navy overcoat and crisp white shirt, with his younger brother matching him. Meanwhile, Princess Charlotte wore the most gorgeous light beige coat dress, standing out from the crowd. See the best pictures of the Wales children from the Christmas Day walkabout here…

The Wales children’s Christmas outings
It’s been a busy festive season for the Wales children, who have been to many Christmas events this month with their parents.
The three attended their mother’s annual ‘Together at Christmas’ carol concert at Westminster Abbey on Friday, 5 December, for an especially poignant ceremony featuring readings revolving around themes of love, compassion and connection.

Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis all looked so adorable at the ceremony, wearing outfits that co-ordinated with one another, and with Prince William.

As their relatives who do not join the family at Sandringham tend to be invited to the lunch, it would have served as a wonderful opportunity for them to see members of their family who they might not get the chances to spend Christmas with.
Prince George’s ‘hands-on’ festive visit
However, it hasn’t been all family gatherings this season: Prince George has also accompanied his father on a meaningful engagement, as Prince William brought him to a homelessness organisation to prepare a Christmas lunch.

Mick Clarke, chief executive of The Passage, who showed the young prince around the St Vincent’s centre in central London, told George about their No Night Out campaign, which aims to prevent someone from spending even one night on the streets by offering early support.
Prince William and Prince George also helped out with laying the tables, complete with their favourite football team Aston Villa-themed Christmas crackers, before joining Head Chef Claudette Dawkins to help prepare the lunch that would be served later that day.
As winter always is, this has been a very packed time of year in the royal calendar – and, though they may be young, the children are no exception to this!
