Prince Louis, the adorable five-year-old son of Prince William and Kate Middleton, delighted onlookers as he held hands with his second cousin, Mia Tindall, during the annual Christmas Day church service at Sandringham. The young prince was joined by his siblings, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, as well as other members of the royal family for the festive event.

Accompanied by their parents, Zara and Mike Tindall, Mia's sister Lena, and her younger brother Lucas, the royal children embarked on the walk to the church. Princess Charlotte, looking festive and smart in a bottle green coat with plaits, held hands with her mother, while Prince Louis and Mia walked hand in hand, showcasing their strong bond.

The close-knit group, including Prince William and Mia, seemed to share jovial moments, giggling and rubbing shoulders as they made their way to the church. Lena, the older cousin, attentively accompanied young Louis, looking after him as they entered the church. The presence of Mia and Louis together exemplified their strong friendship and unity.

The Christmas Day church service at Sandringham was a big family affair, with various members of the royal family in attendance. Notably absent were Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and their children, who remained in California. The King and Queen, along with the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, Zara and Mike Tindall, and Princess Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank, walked together as they headed into the church.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince William and Kate Middleton, made a stylish appearance. Kate looked effortlessly chic in a stunning blue coat, complemented by navy accessories, while Princess Charlotte showcased her impeccable style in a green number with woollen tights.

The Christmas festivities at Sandringham typically begin on Christmas Eve, with the family opening presents that include gag gifts, a tradition among the royal family. On Christmas morning, the family attends services at Saint Mary Magdalene Church before heading home for a traditional Christmas lunch and afternoon games.

Last year marked a significant change for the royal family as they celebrated their first festive period without Queen Elizabeth II, who had passed away a few months earlier. This year, the King and Queen, accompanied by the Princess Royal and her husband Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence, greeted well-wishers as they attended the Christmas Eve service.

The royal Christmas Day service continued with the Duke of York walking alongside the family, in a departure from his absence in previous years. His ex-wife, Sarah, Duchess of York, also made a public appearance, walking beside him and wearing a bottle green outfit.

Prince Charles, the King, gave his annual Christmas message, emphasizing the environmental issues and marking a departure from the traditionally apolitical speeches given by his mother, the late Queen Elizabeth.

As the royal family came together for their cherished Christmas traditions, Prince Louis and his cousin Mia Tindall stole the hearts of onlookers with their endearing bond, showcasing the spirit of love and togetherness at this special time of year.
