Princess Charlotte's Sweet Christmas Gesture Caught on Camera

Princess Charlotte made sure to look after her cousin who was not given flowers during the royal walk to church on Christmas morning.

Charlotte joined her brothers Prince George and Prince Louis and her parents Prince William and Kate Middleton in greeting members of the public gathered on the route to church at Sandringham, King Charles III's private estate in the east of England.

Some royal watchers brought flowers or gifts which they gave to the young royals but at one stage, Mia Tindall, Charlotte's cousin, was left empty handed.

Mia is daughter to Zara Tindall, one of Queen Elizabeth II's granddaughters via Princess Anne.

Kate, Charlotte and George all stepped in to help Mia out, showing they were happy to share the limelight.

One clip went viral on TikTok after it was seen 2.4 million times and liked 180,000 times. It was posted with the message: "Cute little moment of Prince George Princess Charlotte Prince Louis and Mia together at Christmas yesterday."

The video begins with Prince George showing Prince Louis that he had been given a large teddy bear before a member of the public appears to try to get Charlotte's attention.

Mia takes a step towards the bunch of flowers before turning back to speak to Charlotte who appears to give her cousin permission to get the flowers instead.

An on screen caption read: "Princess Charlotte let Mia get the flowers that was for her, but she let her get it."

Another video showed that moments earlier when Kate gave Mia a bunch of flowers to make sure she would not be left empty handed.

An on screen caption noted how the video initially shows "Mia Tindall not receiving any flowers" and then "Catherine giving her a bouquet."

Prince George also got in on the act of kindness, giving his cousin flowers he had received while at the end, Prince Louis and Mia can be seen holding hands.

One fan wrote: "Honestly, I would give sweet Mia a bunch of flowers these kids were raised incredibly well."

Another wrote: "William and Zara have always been close, so sweet to see their babies close too. She was the sibling he always needed."
