Many people gather in Sandringham to enjoy interactions with the royals, take selfies, and to also give them gifts.
On this year’s walkabout, Princess Charlotte and her brothers, Prince George, 12, and Prince Louis, seven, were seen juggling many gifts from well-wishers.
But one woman seemed to just want a hug from Princess Charlotte. After spotting the woman, Charlotte walked over to a security guard and asked them to hold her gifts.
She was heard saying: “Could you hold this please? Thank you.”
