Prince William and Kate Middleton’s three children brought the holiday spirit to the royal family’s Christmas Day church service on Wednesday.
Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6, attended the annual outing with their parents at the Church of St. Mary Magdalene in Norfolk, England.
Cheers from the crowd greeted them as they entered the church, with Prince William holding his daughter’s hand.
After the service, the trio were bombarded with plush toys and chocolates.
Prince Louis looked particularly pleased to have been given a Mickey Mouse toy in a holiday outfit.
They were not the only children in attendance.
Also there were Princess Anne’s daughter, Zara and husband Mike Tindall with their children and Princess Beatrice with her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi and his son Christoper Woolf.
Last year’s royal church service marked the last public outing the Princess of Wales, 42, made before disappearing from the spotlight amid a planned abdominal surgery.
Her absence from public events after the operation sparked conspiracy theories and concerns over her health. Months later, she confirmed in a video message that she had been diagnosed with cancer.
Fortunately, Middleton shared in September that she completed her chemotherapy treatment and has continued to conduct her in-person royal duties.
Earlier this month, Middleton hosted her fourth annual Christmas carol service at Westminster Abbey, where she was joined by her husband and kids.
She looked Christmas chic in a double-breasted red Alexander McQueen coat adorned with a black velvet bow.
William, for his part, hinted at the family’s Christmas plans at Sandringham during a recent visit with soldiers, telling attendees, “We’ll be 45 [people] for Christmas. It won’t be quiet, it will be noisy.”
