Royal fans have once again been impressed by Princess Charlotte's actions. The 10-year-old charmed the crowds at Sandringham - with some calling her "kindhearted" and comparing her to the late Queen.

Princess Charlotte stole the show as the royals celebrated Christmas by hugging wellwishers and charming the crowds. The young royal, who wowed viewers of Princess Kate's Christmas carol concert on ITV last night by playing the piano, joined her parents today at Sandringham.

Princess Charlotte joined her siblings and wider family including the King and Queen for the annual Christmas Day church service.

Walking alongside her mum Kate, Charlotte wore a grown up light brown coat with dark brown trim along with her now signature bow in her hair.

After enjoying the traditional church service, Charlotte as well as her brothers Prince George and Prince Louis, then met the crowds who had turned out to greet them, with the trio receiving a handful of gifts.

Before greeting the crowds, the young princess could be seen chatting with Mike and Zara Tindall's daughters Mia and Lena.

Afterwards, Charlotte was seen laden with flowers and gifts while future King George clutched a soft toy as did his younger brother Louis.

And in one adorable moment, Charlotte gave one royal fan a hug, with the sweet moment caught on camera.

In a video shared on X, one fan penned: "A heartwarming video of Princess Charlotte hugging a well-wisher today."

Commenting on the video, one person wrote: "She has perfect role models with both her parents."

Another penned: "What an angel of a child."

"Princess Charlotte is such a sweetheart," another wrote.

The Wales family Christmas Day celebrations come after Kate and Princess Charlotte's pre-recorded Christmas piano duet aired last night.

The mother and daughter sat together to play a piece they know well by Scottish composer Erland Cooper, for Kate's Christmas carol concert.

Princess Kate and Charlotte's piano performance was for the Together at Christmas concert, held at Westminster Abbey on December 5, and was pre-recorded last week so did not feature at the live event - but it was aired as part of the ITV1 screening of the service on Christmas Eve.
