Charlotte, 4, seemed excited to see the well-wishers lined up along the walk as she held onto both of her parents' hands, while George, 6, looked on with a little more caution. William's father, Prince Charles, was with them for the stroll into the 11 a.m. service. George looked sharp in a navy blue blazer, sweater and slacks with a white-collared shirt underneath, which matched his dad's outfit, while Charlotte, 4, was precious in a dark green Amaia jacket, navy blue tights and black dress shoes. Her coat coordinated with Kate's hat and heels, who also looked quite regal in her long Catherine Walker & Co. coat that featured a faux fur collar.


William and His Brood

Just in time for the holidays, Prince William and Kate Middleton shared a brand new family photo of William with all three of their kids. The sweet black-and-white pic shows the prince giving his youngest son, 20-month-old Louis, a kiss on the cheek. George, 6, is sitting in a chair, wearing a zip-up jacket and shorts, while Charlotte, 4, is standing in between her brothers. She's wearing a puffy jacket over a dress and appears to have a backpack on, and her hands are placed gently on Louis' shoulders. "Merry Christmas! This photograph of The Duke of Cambridge, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis was taken by The Duchess of Cambridge in Norfolk earlier this year," Kensington Palace shared in 2019. "We wish all our followers a very happy and relaxing Christmas Day ⛄️."
