Prince George steals the show at carol concert
All eyes were on Prince George and Kate Middleton as she hosted a very special carol concert at Westminster Abbey. The event, which took place on 8th December, was broadcast on our screens this evening. But it was young Prince George who stole the show, according to body language expert Judi James.
Prince George shows he's ready to rule
Judi James reveals that Prince George's body language is very serious and adult. He no longer needs prompting or gestures of encouragement, showing that he's ready to take on more responsibilities.
Heartwarming moment between father and son
During the TV service, Prince George turned to look at his father, Prince William. Judi James explains that Prince William had a suppressed mouth smile with puckering at the corners, showing just how proud he was of his son. Prince George naturally mirrored his father's body language, without any need for anxious checking glances.
Princess Charlotte takes control
Princess Charlotte also showed maturity during the festive service. She was seen looking after her younger brother, Prince Louis, and even pointed out a post box to him. Judi James suggests that Charlotte is taking after her mother, Kate Middleton, as her role model.
Royal children take center stage
The royal children were at the forefront of the carol service, which honored those who work to support babies, young children, and families in communities across the UK. The service showcased the hope of new life and the importance of building supportive, nurturing worlds around children and adults.
A night of festive celebration
The carol concert featured performances by the Westminster Abbey choir, Jacob Collier, Freya Ridings, James Bay, Beverley Knight, and Adam Lambert. Readings were given by speakers including the Prince of Wales and Jim Broadbent, and a specially commissioned poem was read by Leonie Elliott. The service also highlighted the importance of early childhood through films and contributions from various individuals.
Post box for handmade Christmas cards
This year's service included a Christmas post box located outside the abbey, where children could send handmade Christmas cards and best wishes to other youngsters who might be struggling during the festive season.
Honoring those who support children
The carol service recognized the work of individuals and charities who support children and families. It also focused on early years, which is a key area of Kate's work through The Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood.
All in all, the carol concert was a night of celebration and reflection, with the royal children taking on more responsibilities and showing their maturity.
