The Prince and Princess of Wales were at the centre of attention as the Royal Family gathered at Sandringham for the traditional Christmas Day church service, with the couple attending alongside their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
William and Catherine arrived smiling and relaxed as they joined King Charles and Queen Camilla for the short walk to St Mary Magdalene Church, greeting members of the public who had lined the route from the Sandringham estate. The outing marked one of the most visible family moments of the festive season and drew large crowds eager to catch a glimpse of the future heirs.
Prince George, now 12, walked confidently beside his parents, while Princess Charlotte, 10, and seven-year-old Prince Louis delighted onlookers with waves and smiles. The siblings appeared at ease as they acknowledged well-wishers, with the youngest royal once again proving a particular favourite among the crowd.
The appearance comes amid heightened interest in the Prince and Princess of Wales as they continue to balance public duties with family life. Their decision to attend the Sandringham service together with their children underscores the importance they place on shared traditions and public engagement at key moments in the royal calendar.
The Wales family will later return to Sandringham House to join the wider Royal Family for Christmas celebrations hosted by the King.
Their presence once again placed the Prince and Princess of Wales – and their children – firmly at the forefront of the Royal Family’s Christmas celebrations, offering a symbolic reminder of continuity and the next generation of the monarchy.
