Princess Charlotte also shared a sweet moment during the walkabout, warmly hugging a member of the crowd.
Elsewhere, Princess Kate chatted with another well-wisher about George’s height after they joked he might grow to be six-foot-four. Kate smiled and agreed, noting that he’s quickly catching up to everyone.
George was later seen looking delighted when he received an Aston Villa-themed gift. Both he and Prince William are well-known fans of the football club, and George thanked the giver enthusiastically.
Later that day, King Charles’ Christmas speech aired, featuring clips of George from a recent visit to the homelessness charity The Passage. William took his son there on December 16 — a visit that echoed a similar moment from 1993, when Princess Diana brought a young William to the same charity.
It was a Christmas filled with small gestures, meaningful connections, and moments that clearly touched many hearts.
