George attended the annual festive service alongside his siblings and parents
Prince George may soon be stepping into a more prominent role during his mother’s beloved Together at Christmas carol service, according to royal insiders.
The Princess of Wales’ annual Westminster Abbey celebration has quickly become a cherished tradition for the royal family.
This year saw all three Wales children make an appearance again.
Prince George tipped for major role at Kate Middleton’s Christmas carol service
Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis captured hearts as they arrived with their parents for the fifth annual carol service hosted by Princess Kate.
George and Charlotte attended the event for the fourth year running. Meanwhile, Louis returned for his third time.
Princess Kate stunned in a green Catherine Walker coat with a faux-fur collar and diamond star-shaped earrings.
She reportedly told performers before the service that her children were “really excited” to be attending once again.
Royal commentator Robert Jobson believes Prince George, 12, may be preparing to take on a more public-facing role in the future, potentially even giving a reading at next year’s carol service.
George, Charlotte and Louis show impressive poise at public appearances.
“George, Charlotte and Louis show impressive poise at public appearances, and they have developed a natural ease in front of cameras and crowds,” Jobson told HELLO!.
“George, in particular, having once looked quite shy and timid in these situations, seems increasingly self-assured. Perhaps it won’t be long until we see him giving a reading at one of his mother’s carol services.”
The young royals charmed onlookers with their impeccable behaviour. On their way inside, the children paused to write their names on red cards for the Connection Tree.
Later, the trio were seen holding flickering candles during the moving service, watched by a congregation of 1,600 guests.
Prince George being ‘prepared’ for royal future
Meanwhile, Prince George is expected to step further into the royal spotlight next year as he turns 13. Sources have claimed that a “real shift” is underway in preparing him for his future as king.
As the eldest child of the Prince and Princess of Wales and second in line to the throne, George has already started taking part in more public events.
In May, he joined King Charles and Queen Camilla at a Buckingham Palace tea party honouring WWII veterans. Last month, he accompanied mum Kate to the Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall.
Insiders say William and Kate have worked hard to give George a grounded childhood, but the focus is now shifting.
“It’s now time to start the preparations,” one source told Closer. “He’s starting to fully grasp his place in the bigger picture. He doesn’t seem to be daunted by it.”
Described as eager to make his parents proud, George reportedly earned “full marks” for his recent public appearances and is likely to attend many more official engagements in the coming months.
