Believe it or not, while the rest of us fill up on mince pies and Christmas TV, the festive period is a majorly busy time for the Royal Family.
They've got a jam-packed schedule of Christmas traditions and their Royal commitments don't stop with the bank holiday. They're still busy making official appearances, such as their beloved walk through the town of Sandringham ahead of a morning Christmas service at St Mary Magdalene Church - a great opportunity for fans and well-wishers to catch a glimpse of the family.
This year has been a particularly significant and poignant occasion due to the passing of the Queen earlier this year, making it the first Christmas without her and with Charles as King. However, it also been a showing of solidarity, togetherness and strength in the face of this new era - particularly for the younger members of the family.
However, it also been a showing of solidarity, togetherness and strength in the face of this adversity - particularly among the younger members of the family.
For example, Prince Louis made his first outing at Sandringham - wowing the crowds assembled to greet the family. And his sibling Prince George has stunned social media followers with his surprising hidden talent: he's a budding painter.
Yesterday, to mark Christmas Day, the official social media accounts of the Prince and Princess of Wales shared an adorable artwork by George to celebrate the occasion: a painting of a festive reindeer against a blue sky, complete with snow and a duo of adorable red breast robins. How cute!
Everyone's clicking on...
Followers were officially obsessed with the picture, with fans commenting on George's remarkable painting talents - especially given his age of just nine years old.
On Twitter, one fan commented; "Kid’s got talent. That’s really good. Happy Xmas," while another added; "Oh my! Prince George is very talented!"
At the time of writing, the post has a whopping 132,000 likes on Twitter and 566,205 likes on Instagram.
However, George is not the only Royal with a creative flair: King Charles is an avid watercolourist and the Princess of Wales famously studied Art History at St Andrews University.
What a creative family!
