Princess Charlotte's Polite Handshake Steals Show at Kate's Carol Concert

Princess Charlotte, eight, charmed attendees at the Princess of Wales' annual Christmas carol concert at Westminster Abbey last night with a polite handshake and sweet smile for clergy members. The young royal, dressed in a £180 burgundy wool coat from Trotters, was on her best behaviour as she greeted church officials in the Abbey's Lady Chapel.

The Together at Christmas service, supported by the Royal Foundation, honoured those supporting babies, young children and families across the UK, linked to Kate's Shaping Us campaign. The event, filmed on December 8, aired on ITV on Christmas Eve, featuring 1,500 guests including senior royals like Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh.

Prince Louis, five, made his debut at the concert and captivated viewers with his reactions. A clip showed his eyes lighting up as actor Jim Broadbent read from J.R.R. Tolkien's The Father Christmas Letters. Social media users praised his 'Christmas magic in his eyes' and adorable interactions with his mother, Kate.

Prince George, 10, and Prince Louis joined Charlotte in posting letters to less fortunate children before the service. The three siblings stood with their parents, holding candles and singing carols, while Prince William and Prince George shared a smile after Broadbent's reading.
