As the family exited the church following the service, Beatrice, who looked wonderful in a dark green coat and matching fascinator, held out her hand as Wolfie reached for hers while they were engaged in conversation with the vicar.

Wolfie's dad Edoardo was also seen looking and smiling down at his eldest child, who he shares with his ex-fiancee Dara Huang. Meanwhile, Edoardo and Beatrice are proud parents to their daughter, Sienna.

Other members of the royal family including the Prince and Princess of Wales and their three children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, attended the service on Sunday.

The members of the family were led by the King and Queen Consort as they walked along the path towards the church in Sandringham, Norfolk.

It was a special moment for the Wales family too as they brought along Louis for the first time.

The family joined the other royals on the Christmas morning walk

The young royals smiled at members of the public who had gathered to catch a glimpse of the royal family as they walked to the morning church service. This appearance marks little Louis' first public walkabout.

Other royals in attendance on the annual Christmas Walkabout were Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank, Prince Andrew, Zara and Mike Tindall and their daughter, Lena, and Sophie Wessex. However, Princess Anne was not present. HELLO! understands that the Princess Royal was suffering from a cold therefore was unable to attend.
