Prince William's hilarious reaction to son Louis' huge Christmas gift from well-wisher
The Wales children were showered with gifts from well-wishers
Prince William couldn’t help but laugh as he watched Prince Louis receive an enormous Christmas gift from a well-wisher during the family’s annual Sandringham walkabout.
As the Prince and Princess of Wales greeted crowds outside St Mary Magdalene Church on Christmas morning, seven-year-old Louis was handed a gigantic stuffed bear by a well-wisher.
Grinning from ear to ear but visibly struggling to manage the armfuls of gifts he’d already received, the young prince clutched the oversized bear with both arms.
Prince William’s reaction to Prince Louis’ gift from well-wisher
Watching his son try to juggle the mountain of presents, Prince William couldn’t resist a cheeky remark.
Smiling at Louis, he quipped, “It’s almost the size of you, Louis!” before adding with a grin: “You’ll have to carry it back.”
A clip of the sweet exchange was shared across social media.
Louis, known for his mischievous charm during royal events, didn’t stop there.
It’s almost the size of you, Louis!
Later in the walkabout, a giant Lindt chocolate ball was handed to Prince William. But before he could even react, Louis eagerly snatched it from his father’s hands, hugging the festive treat close to his chest.
HELLO!’s U.S. Royal News Correspondent, Alexandra Hurtado, was present for the moment.
“A giant Lindt chocolate ball was given to Prince William for his youngest son, and Prince Louis seemed very excited to receive the chocolate as he swiped it from his dad’s hands and hugged the gift,” she said. “Cheeky Louis! It was definitely one of the highlights of the morning.”
Photos from the event show Louis cradling the chocolate ball, refusing to let go even as the family continued greeting crowds.

Louis’ siblings also made their mark during the festive outing.
Princess Charlotte, 10, received a book from a well-wisher and graciously replied: “Thank you so much, that’s very kind of you.”
Sources told HELLO! she also posed for selfies and delighted fans with her confident, warm demeanour. “She is such a little star,” one royal watcher gushed.
Prince George led the way to the church, greeting crowds with a beaming smile. The 12-year-old looked every bit the future king in a navy coat and polished shoes. Charlotte wore a camel coat and tights. Meanwhile, Louis matched his brother in a dark overcoat.
The Sandringham Christmas Day walkabout has been a royal tradition since 1988. This year saw a strong turnout from the royal family.
Alongside the Wales family were King Charles and Queen Camilla, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, Princess Anne, and Zara and Mike Tindall, all joining the public-facing procession to and from church.
The annual appearance offers a rare chance for the public to interact with multiple generations of the royal family.
The royal family adheres to specific guidelines when accepting public gifts. Modest-value items, flowers, books, and food are generally accepted if considered appropriate. Anything deemed unsuitable or above a certain value is returned or donated.
