ADORABLE footage shows the moment Princess Kate accepts a drawing for her daughter Charlotte and shakes hands with a young admirer.
The Royal Family attended St Mary Magdalene’s Church on the Norfolk estate for the Yuletide service at 11am today.
In one heartwarming clip, the Princess of Wales was seen kneeling down as she greeted a young fan.
The youngster held out a drawing to the mum-of-three who immediately broke into a beaming smile as she took the gift.
Kate was heard saying: “Did you miss Charlotte? Shall I give it to her when I get back home, ok.
“That’s so kind of you.”
The Princess of Wales then shared a touching handshake with her young admirer.
She wished her a “Merry Christmas” before going on to greet other royal fans who handed her flower bouquets.
Earlier today, the Princess of Wales embraced an OAP battling cancer this morning as the royals went to the Christmas Day church service.
Hundreds of royal fans gathered outside the gates of Sandringham this morning hoping to catch a glimpse of King Charles, Queen Camilla and the royal family.
Pensioner Karen MacLean was given a hug by the Princess of Wales after revealing she is battling cancer.
The 73-year-old, from Humberston near Cleethorpes, Lincolnshire, described the moment Kate embraced her as “overwhelmingly good”.
She told The Sun: “We were talking about our illnesses, because we’re both cancer victims, when she reached out and hugged me.
“It was really unexpected and such a joy… I gave her a tight squeeze back. It was such a surreal moment.
“I wasn’t expecting that at all. It was so overwhelmingly good.”
Another woman, who had worked for Macmillan Cancer Support, told Kate: “I just wanted to say you are an inspiration to all the patients.”
She replied: “The amount of people who have written this year is extraordinary and I think cancer just really does resonate with so many families.
“People like you are doing all the hard work out there. I’m hugely grateful.”
The King, wearing a camel coat and carrying an umbrella, waved to well-wishers and shook hands with the Rev Can Dr Paul Rhys Williams as he led the family into the church.
He was followed closely behind by Queen Camilla, wearing an ivy green coat and beret.
They were joined by the Prince and Princess of Wales, in a similar green outfit to the Queen, and their children Princes George and Louis, and Princess Charlotte, who waved at the crowds.
Outcast Prince Andrew did not join the family amid his Chinese spy scandal.
Mike Tindall followed behind the Kensingtons with his daughter Mia.
He could be seen sharing a joke with niece Savannah Phillips as they waited to go into the chapel.
His wife Zara, in a burgundy coat and matching headband, walked separately with her brother Peter Phillips and his other daughter Isla.
She held hands with her youngest daughter Lena.
Also in attendance was Princess Beatrice and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi and stepson Christopher Woolf.
