Kate Middleton Jokes About Having an 'Early Start' on Christmas and Shares About the Kids' Gifts

The Princess of Wales revealed that, just like many parents, Christmas day began early and with a bang. Kate Middleton jokingly admitted that she had "quite an early start" on Christmas day.

As seen in a video shared on Twitter, the Princess of Wales, 40, was seen chatting with well-wishers after Christmas church service at Sandringham. She shared with the crown her Christmas morning and how she had an early start.

She also accepted a bouquet from a little girl named India, whom the Royal asked if she had a lovely morning and if Father Christmas, the traditional British name for Santa Claus, had already visited her.

The girl answered with a yes and politely asked if the Princess was enjoying her Christmas day so far as well.

Prince Louis' sweet Christmas gesture to her sister

When asked about the Christmas presents for the kids, Middleton shared that they received loads of "lovely things."

Ahead of the Christmas church service, on the other hand, still at the St. Mary Magdalene church, Sandringham, where the Wales family greeted well-wishers that were lining the side of the route to the church, Prince Louis, four, received a little bouquet from a royal fan, the Daily Mail reported.

Falling behind his siblings, the youngest Wales called out after his sister Charlotte, seven, caught up with her and handed her the bouquet while he was holding a Father Christmas toy another royal fan gave him.

The crowd then cooed and expressed their "awww..." as they witnessed the sweet moment between siblings, leaving the prince confused about their reactions.

Their father, Prince William, who was with them, lovingly stroked Prince Louis' hair as they continued to go inside the church together.

Artists run in the Royal family's blood

Earlier that morning, the Prince and Princess of Wales gave the public another wonderful glimpse of Christmas at home when they took to Twitter and surprised their social media followers with a photo of Prince George's watercolor painting.

The nine-year-old prince painted a reindeer with two orange-colored birds perched on its antlers and back. The couple captioned it, "Happy Christmas! by George."

An "artistic interest" is said to run in the royal family, as the late Prince Philip and King Charles III also loved painting and doing artwork.

The King, 74, is known for his love for watercolors, displayed in royal residences like Balmoral Castle in Scotland and his country home Highgrove in Gloucestershire, England. Last October, a print of his painting "Balmoral by Charles" was sold for about $6,500 in an auction, even if it was only valued at $675.

It is the Royal family's first Christmas season without the late Queen Elizabeth, and obviously, her absence was felt.

"It will be hard, as the Queen was all they knew, like most of Britain. The first year is most difficult, as it is always the first of everything that you notice," a former palace staffer shared to People days before the holidays.
