British Royal Christmas 1: 2008-2021

Interesting, if true. The article says a Sandringham source confirmed Edo and Beatrice arrived last night. I assume Edo’s son must be in the USA w/ his mom’s family?

I read this as well. I saw it posted by Harper’s Bazaar-though it may have had the same original source.

The Christmas message of HRH The Prince of Wales really addressed the persecution of Christians which it seems is a cause that deeply concerns the Prince.

An important topic about which we don't hear much. Those statistics about Christian communities are shocking. Thank you for posting.

HRH is undoubtedly a compassionate man. Maybe he is moved sometimes by the spirit of his paternal grandmother.

We have a video from the launch of the RBL Campaign and the 4 Gen Photoshoot:

A helping hand from Grandpa! Adorable moment Prince Charles shows Prince George how to mix up his Christmas pudding during family cooking session with the Queen and Prince William

The reactions to Georges's determined stirring by HM & Charles are priceless

The Prime Minister -Boris Johnson's Christmas Message was on exactly the same subject - FINALLY Important people are beginning to take up this cause..

It surprised me that William used his right hand so much since he's left-handed.

Perhaps he's one of those lucky people who are ambidextrous.

^ Stirring Christmas Pudding is very hard work indeed, and requires serious Bicep power..

Poor George really stands NO chance...

I wonder if Prince William got any tips from Mary Berry

George was having fun and the queen seemed a bit concerned that her dress might get hit by a piece of pudding.

 

[Osipi]

George surely was determined to "get 'er done" wasn't he? He'll remember how he made that pudding every time he eats some now. Kids being active in the kitchen when they're young make for a more independent adult down the line. ?

Yes I noticed that and was keen to move off .

 

[HereditaryPrincess]

Such a sweet video! George seemed to be interested in the pudding making - he still seems to be shyer than his sister Charlotte when it comes to meeting officials, as he looked a bit overwhelmed when he had to shake hands, but I don't blame him - it must be daunting for any age if it's something you're not used to, let alone a six year old. He reminds me a little of a young Prince Philip in this, too, which is the first time I've seen a resemblance between the two.

I cracked up at George stabbing at the dough, like he was frustrated and just wanted to kill it, lol

 

[tommy100]

It made me laugh as well, I teach 5&6 year olds and that seems a very usual 6 year old boy approach to most things

It would be really cute if it was in color. I can't think of a black-and-white photo taken in the last 50 years that I like.

I will say this, Catherine is the best at capturing her children's personalities. So her photos are always a treat in that sense. The only drawback is that since she's behind the camera she's missing from the family photo.

I notice Louis is wearing the same outfit from his first birthday photos, the red sweater and undershirt. So this photo is likely an outtake from that photo session. Maybe that's why they went black-and-white to make it look less like a "leftover" from April.

Aww lovely pic of William and the kids. Kate's best [I'm usually not a fan of her snaps tbh].

Charlotte has such a mature face. She resembles the Queen but not as the Queen was as a child, but as an adult. So much character! I find my eye is always drawn to her in pictures. I also see echoes of Kate in her too.

Louis and George are all Middleton IMO. Absolute cuties!

 

[Pranter]

Charlotte remains a blend of The Queen and Kate. Louis (in his more recent pics from last week) is looking more a Windsor. George a blend of William and Michael.

Waiting to see if the Cambridge kids are walking to Church with their parents.

No Peter and Zara and their families either, that's the smallest Church parade at Sandringham I can remember.
