George and Charlotte have previously been pictured attending church with their parents in Bucklebury in 2016, when they celebrated Christmas with Kate's family, the Middletons. The children have always remained at home whenever William and Kate have attended the service in Sandringham, and Prince Louis was not in attendance this year, as he is only 19-months-old.
