Prince Louis may be young, but he already knows that the holidays are all about spending time with family.

The six-year-old prince joined his family last Friday for the Princess of Wales' annual 'Together at Christmas' carol service. Arriving at Westminster Abbey alongside his siblings, 11-year-old Prince George and 9-year-old Princess Charlotte, the young royal participated in a Christmas-themed activity that involved writing a note of gratitude and attaching it to an outdoor Christmas tree.

Louis’s note read: 'Thank you for Granny and Grandpa because they have played games with me.'

While Louis didn’t specify which set of grandparents his message was directed to, some royal fans have assumed that he was referring to Kate’s parents, Carole and Michael Middleton, who were also in attendance at the service. The Middletons were previously seen playing card games with the Wales children in a family video released in September.

Louis, Charlotte, and George’s attendance at the carol service marks their first public appearance in six months. They were last seen at Trooping the Colour this past June.

Kate’s 'Together at Christmas' event returned for the fourth year in a row, capping off a particularly turbulent year for the royal family amid cancer diagnoses for King Charles and Kate.

The theme of the 2024 service subtly acknowledged Kate’s personal experiences. 'This year’s service provides a moment to reflect upon the importance of love and empathy, and how much we need each other, especially in the most difficult times of our lives,' Kensington Palace said in a statement shared last month. 'The service will shine a light on individuals from all over the UK who have shown love, kindness and empathy towards others in their communities.'
