Prince Louis joined the royal family's Christmas church service in Sandringham for the first time
The royal family attended church services in Sandringham, Norfolk, on Christmas Day.
Prince William and Kate Middleton's youngest son, Prince Louis, joined for the first time.
The 4-year-old accepted a toy and a Paddington Christmas card from members of the public.
On Sunday, the royal family made their annual visit to St. Mary Magdalene Church in Sandringham, Norfolk, to attend the Christmas morning service.
Royal family members spend Christmas at their Sandringham Estate every year. This year marks the royals' first Christmas without the Queen since her death in September at the age of 96.
For the first time, Prince Louis, 4, joined his older siblings Prince George, 9, and Princess Charlotte, 7, at the event.
William, George, and Louis all coordinated in navy, while Charlotte wore burgundy and Kate re-wore an olive green Alexander McQueen coat that she previously wore in 2020, Metro reported.
Louis smiled as he walked beside his grandfather, King Charles III.
Charles has often been photographed doting on his grandchildren, such as when he held Louis in his lap at the Platinum Pageant in June.
He accepted a toy as a Christmas gift from a member of the public.
Members of the public gifted royal family members with bouquets of flowers, Christmas cards, and toys.
He also received a Paddington-themed Christmas card.
The royals' love of Paddington Bear is well-documented. Kate danced with Paddington Bear during a charity visit in 2017, and Queen Elizabeth acted in a Platinum Jubilee sketch with the animated character in June, entitled "Ma'amalade Sandwich Your Majesty?"
He pulled on his mother's hand when it appeared he was ready to keep walking.
Royal engagements can be a lot for a 4-year-old. In June, the young prince screamed and covered his ears when planes flew directly over Buckingham Palace at Trooping the Colour.
