Royals are giving Prince Louis a ‘star’ role for Christmas after stealing the nation’s heart

Prince Louis will attend the royal family’s Christmas celebrations at Sandringham for the first time this year.

The four-year-old caught the nation’s attention at Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations over the summer with his mischievous antics.

Now Prince William and Kate’s youngest child can join the family on their traditional Christmas walk to church, reports The Mirror.

The final decision on Prince Louis’ attendance at Sandringham will not be made until the day itself.

But it is hoped the youngster will make the procedure light and festive alongside his older siblings Prince George, 9, and Princess Charlotte, 7.

Charlotte was also four years old when she took part in her first Christmas walking tour in 2019.

The four-year-old captured the heart of the nation at Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations

Prince Louis stole the spotlight at the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations as he chatted with the Queen.

The four-year-old sported several amusing expressions as he sat next to his mother, the Duchess of Cambridge, in the royal box on the fourth day of the Platinum Jubilee celebrations.

At times he was seen clenching his fists, sticking out his tongue, waving his arms in the air, cupping his hands over his mother’s mouth and standing in his seat for a better view of the spectacle.

He later walked over to his other relatives and perched on his grandfather Prince Charles’ lap, who was pointing out various interesting parts of the parade, to try to entertain the four-year-old.

The Royal Walk is a family tradition on Christmas Day, they walk from Sandringham to St Mary Magdalene Church to attend morning services.

They have been partying at Sandringham since 1988 but due to the pandemic they stayed in Windsor in 2020 and 2021.

The family takes a 300-metre public walk in front of the benevolent public who line the path to the church – which seats 100 people with the monarch in the front row.

Harry and Meghan are said to have been frozen out as monarchs from King Charles’ first Christmas dinner at Sandringham.

King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla are hosting the dinner for what insiders describe as members of the “loyal family.”

It’s likely that Camilla’s son Tom Parker Bowles and daughter Laura Lopes will attend the royal luncheon.

Mike Tindall and Zara Phillips are also believed to be on the list along with their children.

A source told The Sun: “Camilla is keen that her family is the focus of Christmas, especially as Charles will not be having his youngest son there. It’s a hugely important Christmas just months after they last all gathered for the Queen’s funeral.

“During last Christmas the family was desperate to resolve Prince Andrew and his sexual abuse case and then there was the incident of the intruder carrying a crossbow at Windsor Castle.

“We saw togetherness at the Princess of Wales Christmas Concert this week and Christmas will be in the same spirit.”
