Princess Kate's Little Royals Aren't So Little Anymore: George, Charlotte, and Louis Steal the Show at Her Christmas Carol Concert
With coordinated outfits, confident smiles, and a striking sense of presence, the young royals turned heads as they arrived with their father — marking the family's first joint outing in months.
Catherine, Princess of Wales, marked a major milestone on December 5, 2025, as she hosted her fifth annual "Together at Christmas" carol concert at Westminster Abbey. But it was her children — Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis — who stole the spotlight.
The outing was the first full-family appearance from the royal brood in six months, their last being the Trooping the Colour in June.
The Princess of Wales arrived at the Abbey ahead of the rest of her family, later joined by William, Prince of Wales, and their three children, now 12, 10, and 7 years old, respectively.
The young royals, once toddlers in the public eye, arrived looking every bit more grown up, coordinated in elegant blue ensembles. Standing beside their mother — who wore a jewel-toned green Catherine Walker coat — they cut a striking picture against the historic backdrop of the Abbey.
The event, held in honour of those making a difference in their communities, continued as planned despite the unexpected withdrawal of guest performer Hannah Waddingham.
It was also yet another example of the couple's careful balance between royal duty and family life. A palace source previously told People that their approach is deeply intentional, stating, "A lot of it is the stabilizing normality Kate brings — and that's how she grew up. William absolutely loves it."
Later that evening, the Prince and Princess of Wales shared a video montage from the concert on Instagram.
The post, captioned, "Together at Christmas 2025 💖🎄🎀 A wonderful evening at Westminster Abbey, welcoming some of the most inspiring people making a difference in the lives of others," offered a glimpse into the atmosphere of the night — warm, festive, and deeply heartfelt.
The royal family's appearance quickly sparked admiration online, with netizens sharing their thoughts on the event — and the children in particular.
"Beautiful family! The children are getting so big! ♥️" said one person, while another typed, "Beautiful family princess Charlotte is growing up and taller gorgeous all of them ❤️ [sic]."
Several comments highlighted how much the children have changed. "The evening was lovely, I loved it. Kate, with her elegance and simplicity, made everything perfect: the decorations, the participants, and what can I say about the children? They were all impeccable, how they've grown! Louis [sic]," shared one.
Prince George's transformation drew particular attention, with one netizen commenting, "Oh my goodness Prince George has grown into a young man before our very eyes ….. 👑 in the making - and Catherine is our Queen of ♥️ [sic]."
Princess Charlotte also sparked a wave of admiration and speculation. "I have a feeling that Charlotte will be the queen: she looks so much like her great-grandmother [sic]," one person said, while another added, "Queen Elizabeth's granddaughter resembles her very much, the same look👑."
One viewer simply exclaimed, "OMG Charlotte is exactly like Queen Elizabeth 😱😱😱." "Charlotte is the queen born again," another person tenderly remarked.
The Wales children may still be young, but with appearances like this — polished yet relaxed, graceful yet entirely age-appropriate — they are quietly stepping into their public roles with confidence and charm.
For royal watchers and the public alike, it was a touching reminder that the little royals we once knew are growing up fast.

Catherine, Princess of Wales, arrived at Westminster Abbey in her signature poised style, walking alongside members of the clergy beneath the warm glow of festive lights. Her emerald coat and relaxed smile set the tone for an evening rooted in celebration and community spirit.
