Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis have shown off their handwriting skills as the royals attended their mother’s Christmas carol service at Westminster Abbey.
The children of Prince William and Princess Kate all wrote their names attached to ribbons, which they wrapped around the Kindness Tree.
Louis stole the show with his adorable handwriting, being the only one out of the three not to write joined-up.
The Prince of Wales arrived at the event with the three children, who joined Kate and sang along to a selection of traditional Christmas carols.

PAThe Princess of Wales has spearheaded this year’s event, which The Royal Foundation backs.
This year’s service focused on celebrating love in its many forms, from familial bonds and friendships to community spirit and acts of kindness between strangers.
The gathering of 1,600 guests included people from across the United Kingdom who have dedicated their time to support others, initiated community-building projects, or offered help to those in need.
The event combined traditional aspects with modern elements, aimed at welcoming guests of all faiths and those without religious ties.
Louis’s handwriting was the only one not joined-up.

Guests arriving at the Abbey were greeted by music from eight musicians aged 13 to 18, performing as a specially assembled brass ensemble.
These young players come from Future Talent, a charity established by the Late Duchess of Kent to provide opportunities for musically gifted children from low-income households.
Zara and Mike Tindall were also in attendance at the Abbey in a show of support for Princess Kate.
Mrs Tindall attended the Together At Christmas Carol Service last year while Mike was absent.
The pair were seen chatting away to singer Hannah Waddingham, who was forced to pull out of her scheduled performance this evening.
The singer withdrew due to strained vocal cords caused by her extensive film schedule.
She has been replaced by Zak Abel, who sang Silent Night in her place.
The concert marks the fifth consecutive year of the festive celebration.
