The UK Royal Family attended a Christmas festival event hosted annually at St Mary Magdalene Church in Sandringham. The event was marshalled from the front by King Charles.

It was the first time he took the initiative post the death of the Queen – King Charles' mother. All the bystanders got to witness the Royal family - Prince and Princess of Wales, and their children - George, Charlotte and Louis.

Kate, along with her four-year old son, Prince Louis, was also seen at the event. Louis was holding her mom’s hands firmly and acknowledged the presence of all the benefactress. Prince Louis, after seeing the happy royal fans together, said that it was “pure chaos”.


William and Kate, who treat their children with pride, are now becoming “hands-off” parents, as their children grow in confidence.

Judi also stated that Charlotte was pulling ahead as they walked towards the church.

On the other hand, George, who was once reticent, kept an eye on his four-year old brother, Louis, sharing nurturing and directional signals to him.
