Prince George shared a close bond with his late great-grandmother, the Queen, and certainly knew how to make her giggle.

The young royal's enthusiastic pudding mixing skills at Christmas 2019 provoked surprise and laughter from his Gan Gan.

As Prince William poured more currants, raisins and fruit into the bowl, a then six-year-old George was captured vigorously stirring the mixture, which prompted the Queen and then Prince Charles to step back and share a giggle.

Queen Elizabeth II and her three heirs – Charles, William, and George – were filmed at the time for the Royal British Legion's Together at Christmas initiative.

The foursome stirred four puddings together - which traditionally brings good luck - and each placed commemorative sixpences into the mixture, ready to be found by those attending the gatherings the following year.

The Prince and Princess of Wales are no strangers to a bit of home baking, having shared a video montage of Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis making some delicious cupcakes for a Platinum Jubilee street party back in June.

The Waleses love making cakes at home

Kate also previously opened up about a sweet tradition for her children's birthdays.

"I love making the cake," the Princess told TV cook Mary Berry in 2019. "It's become a bit of a tradition that I stay up 'til midnight with ridiculous amounts of cake mix and icing and I make far too much. But I love it."
