Following the service, the Wales children greeted well-wishers who lined the walkway. Princess Charlotte confidently shook hands, similar to her mother, while she and her brothers collected stuffed animals, flowers, and chocolates from the crowd.

Kate was particularly responsive to attendees, spending considerable time interacting with those present, especially visitors in wheelchairs. Her dedication to connecting with the public further cements her reputation as the royal family member who engages most during these holiday gatherings.
At ages 12, 10, and 7, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis tend to keep a low profile, but they have made their mark by joining the royal family for Christmas in recent years. George and Charlotte first attended the outing in 2019, while Louis made his debut in 2022.

The young royals are often seen leaving these events with small tokens like flowers and stuffed animals, gifts they’re allowed to keep.
According to the official royal gift policy, family members may accept gifts from the public as long as the items are of low monetary value—generally under $188.

The British royal family has upheld the tradition of celebrating Christmas at their Sandringham estate, located 110 miles north of London, for generations. Prince William experienced the same festive gatherings during his childhood that he now shares with his own children.
On Christmas Eve, the royals partake in lighthearted gift exchanges, sharing inexpensive gag presents. Past examples include quirky items like the leather toilet seat given by Princess Anne to King Charles and a humorous “Grow Your Own Girlfriend” kit from Kate Middleton to Prince Harry prior to his meeting with Meghan Markle.
After the church service on Christmas Day, the family enjoys lunch at Sandringham House and watches King Charles’ annual Christmas broadcast, which airs at 3:00 PM.
Recently, the Prince and Princess of Wales appeared with their children at Kate’s “Together at Christmas” carol service on December 5. This annual event marked its fifth year, showcasing the family in coordinated green and navy outfits as they enjoyed musical performances and readings at Westminster Abbey.
