People Editorial Guidelines Updated on December 8, 2023 03:39PM EST Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis are getting in the Christmas spirit. The three young royals joined Kate Middleton and Prince William, both 41, at the third annual Christmas carol concert at Westminster Abbey, hosted by the Princess of Wales. Before making their way inside, Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5, made an important stop. They walked over to a red mailbox outside Westminster Abbey and placed envelopes inside. This year, children were encouraged to send homemade Christmas cards to other kids who might be struggling this year. According to royal reporter Rebecca English, George, Charlotte and Louis all wrote their own cards.

Chris Jackson/Getty Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis weren't the only members of the royal family's next generation in attendance. Princess Beatrice brought her stepson Christopher Woolf (known by the nickname Wolfie!), and Peter Phillips' two daughters — Savannah and Isla — also tagged along. Lord Frederick Windsor and Sophie Winkleman also brought their children. The event was specially geared towards children this year. The Christmas concert — featuring performances by Westminster Abbey's choir, Adam Lambert, Beverley Knight and more as well as a reading given by Prince William — is linked to Princess Kate’s Shaping Us campaign, which focuses on her mission to support children during the early years of their lives. The palace said the event was organized to “thank all those who work to support babies, young children and families in our communities across the U.K. and a celebration of the golden opportunity that the birth of a new baby brings." After the service, Princess Kate and Prince William with their children followed the clergy in the processional out of Westminster Abbey, all holding lit candles.

The Prince and Princess of Wales' three children are also likely participating in holiday festivities at their new school, Lambook, where they started in September 2022. According to the school's website, "Christmas festivities and opportunities make it even more special for our pupils, with every single child performing in a Christmas event, including Christingles, Nativities, Pre Prep House singing competitions and of course, our end of term Carol Service." Earlier this month, Lambrook School started the Christmas season with an Advent service complete with a choir performance and nativity scene.
