Hello everyone! Moment Prince Louis waves while walking hand-in-hand with William as he arrives at Kate’s Christmas carol concert

Prince Louis stole the nation’s hearts as he waved to the audience at Westminster Abbey as he arrived for the Princess of Wales’ annual Christmas carol concert.

Louis, 5, was all smiles as he entered the church, hand-in-hand with his father Prince William. He waved to onlookers and clergy members alike as he followed his mother Kate and older siblings, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, to his seat. 

The young royal made his debut at Kate’s annual carol concert on December 8 and fans went wild as he lit up during the service, with some even saying Louis had ‘Christmas magic in his eyes’.

Upon entering the concert, the youngest child of the Prince and Princess of Wales, posted letters to children less fortunate than himself alongside Charlotte, 8, and George, 10.

The trio stood proudly next to their parents – as well as other senior royals – as they held candles and sung Christmas songs in the festive hall filled with 1,500 people. 

The Together At Christmas service – supported by the Royal Foundation – was this year held in honour of those who work to support babies, young children and families across the UK.

Linked to Kate’s Shaping Us campaign, the service will showcase ‘the hope of new life and why it is so important to build supportive, nurturing worlds around children and the adults in their lives’. 

While it was filmed on December 8, the full concert was aired to the public last night on ITV. Louis had previously been too young to attend his mother’s annual Christmas concert but his debut did not disappoint.

Fans also went wild as an adorable clip showed Louis’ eyes light up as actor Jim Broadbent, 74, read The Father Christmas Letters from J.R.R. Tolkien. 

The five-year-old, said to have ‘Christmas magic in his eyes’, was seen nudging his mother Kate, whispering ‘mama’ and pointing at the award-winning star as he read to the audience.

At the end of Broadbent’s reading, William and George also exchanged a smile as festive cheer spread across the chapel. 

During another adorable moment in the concert, captured on camera earlier this month, Louis was seen cheekily blowing out his sister’s candle at the concert – leaving his siblings in stitches.

The mischievous royal blew out Charlotte’s candle as their mother Kate laughed. He was pictured puffing his cheeks in an attempt to extinguish his older sister’s candle, as she smiled.

The Wales children were on their best behaviour as they greeted members of the clergy at the Abbey’s Lady Chapel. 

Louis looked shy while his older brother and sister smiled, shook hands and said hello to the priest. 

George looked the double of his father wearing a smart suit, while his younger brother wore a navy button-up jacket, narrow-legged trousers and blue suede Chelsea boots. 

Charlotte meanwhile wore a £180 double-breasted burgundy wool coat from Trotters. 

Opening the ceremony, the Princess of Wales, wearing a monochrome outfit, welcomed audiences watching from home on Christmas Eve to re-watch the service and spoke of the meaning of Christmas.

‘Christmas is a time when we come together and celebrate the birth of a newborn baby,’ she said.

‘The arrival of every baby is a precious and momentous time, it brings us together to reflect on new beginnings and brings hope for the future.

‘Throughout our earliest interactions, relationships and experiences, with those who love us, even before we are born, we lay the foundations to so much of what that future will depend on. 

‘But only by valuing and supporting the vital role of the adults in a child’s world can we hope to make a difference.’

William also took part in the service giving a reading from the Gospel of Luke.

Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, was seen pictured alongside the family of five. 

Princess Beatrice, her stepson Christopher Mapelli Mozzi and husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, also made an appearance as well as Princess Eugenie, Zara Tindall and Peter Phillips and his daughters Savannah and Isla. 

Although the King and Queen Camilla were not present at the event, donated Christmas trees from Windsor Great Park to decorate Westminster Abbey, which were donated to the local community after the service. 

Among the group of celebrities who greeted the family were singers Beverley Knight, Adam Lambert and musician Jacob Collier.

Kate’s sister Pippa and husband James Matthews were seen at the event, as were Lady Sarah Chatto and her husband Daniel Chatto. 

Midwives, nursery teachers and baby bank volunteers were amongst those 1,500 people invited to the festive event, which thanked those working to support children in their early years.
