Last night the young royal siblings appeared on screen with their parents at their mother’s annual carol service and stole the show.
Together at Christmas, which featured the Princess of Wales’s Christmas carol concert on Thursday 15 December, took place at Westminster Abbey.
Prince George and Princess Charlotte were in the front row of the crowd, joined by their parents and the King and Queen Consort.
During the service, which included readings by Kristin Scott-Thomas and Prince William and performances by Craig David, Alfie Boe and Mel C, the young prince and princess stole the show.
Viewers praised the good behavior of Charlotte, who seemed delighted when Hugh Bonneville stood up to read an excerpt from Paddington Bear.
The seven-year-old stole the hearts of viewers with her ‘priceless’ reaction when her face lit up during the tribute to the late Queen, her great-grandmother.
Speaking at the start of the show, Kate said: “This Christmas will be my first without Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth.”
“Her Majesty held Christmas close to her heart as a moment that brought us together.”
Later in the show, Kate describes a sweet connection between the late Queen and her young children.
Sharing a family photo of Queen as a child doing a Christmas production, the princess says: “It really resonated with me, and to see Her Majesty here doing the production on Christmas Day during World War II, I thought it was really special.”
‘I can remember doing this kind of thing when I was a kid too… when I saw this picture it’s wonderful because I saw my children’s love for doing this kind of thing, putting on little shows for us. That’s when they ask me to join, so we dance around the table!
