As time passed, Charlotte’s arms became overloaded with presents, leaving her unable to shake any more hands.

She tried to seek help from her father, but Prince William was too occupied greeting others.

Fortunately, Charlotte’s struggle did not go unnoticed by Prince George, who subtly stepped in to relieve her of some of her gifts, a gesture that has been praised online.

“What a nice move there #PrinceGeorge,” one user wrote on X. “He saw the man waiting to shake hands with Princess Charlotte, but she had things in her hands. She nudged her dad, but he was busy, so BIG BROTHER to the rescue!”

Another commented: “Love how discreetly George did that. Minimum of fuss. Also like how the officer stepped up when there seemed to be something off.”

“Aw George watching out for his little sister is so sweet,” a third user remarked.

After Wednesday’s service, the Wales family and their children, along with 45 other royals, gathered for a grand family Christmas at Buckingham Palace, following an invitation from King Charles.

In a festive first, as the royal family typically meets at either Sandringham or Windsor Castle, they all came together at the palace’s central headquarters. Among the attendees were Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, their husbands and children, the Wessexes, Princess Anne, the Tindalls, and their children.

Meanwhile, Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and their children, Archie and Lilibet, stayed in Montecito, California, for the holidays. Prince Andrew, however, was reportedly excluded from the gathering, likely due to his recent connection to an alleged Chinese spy.
