Prince Louis cheekily blew out his sister’s candle at Kate’s annual Christmas carol concert, which has left his royal siblings in stitches.

The cheeky prince, five, watched his mother, the Princess of Wales, host the special festive service at Westminster Abbey today. 

Princess Charlotte of Wales, Prince Louis of Wales and Prince George of Wales posted letters to other children before The ‘Together At Christmas’ Carol Service.

The trio made a beeline for the bright red letterbox that had been placed outside. 

It had been put there at Kate’s request so that members of the congregation could post handmade Christmas cards and letters to children less fortunate than themselves. 

But after the service, the mischievous royal blew out Charlotte’s candle as their mother Kate laughed. 

He was pictured puffing his cheeks in an attempt to extinguish his older sister’s candle, as she smiled.

Whereas George, ten, looked the spitting image of his father in a smart suit, while Louis, five, wore a navy button-up jacket, narrow-legged trousers and blue suede Chelsea boots. Charlotte, eight, was equally stylish in a a £180 double-breasted burgundy wool coat from Trotters.

However, this is not the first time the youngest of the Wales’s children has stolen the show. 

The fourth in line to the throne has become the centre of attention on several occasions when at royal outings. 

On the Coronation, Prince Louis melted hearts once again at Westminster Abbey as he was spotted cheering for his grandfather, King Charles, exclaiming: ‘Yaaaay Say king. Yaaaay king,’ lip reading expert Jacqui Press told Femail at the time.

However, the royal did not attend the Coronation concert as he was past his bedtime, this did not stop him from gaining attention online as fans of The Firm wondered where he was. 

Many may remember when he covered his ears and appeared to scream next to the late Queen on the balcony of Buckingham Palace, due to the planes flying past. 

The service today, supported by The Royal Foundation, honoured those who work to support babies, young children and families in communities across the UK. 

Kate, who wore a white coat over a monochrome outfit, had travelled to the Abbey an hour earlier to check on arrangements.

Inside the Lady Chapel she met the performers, telling American singer Adam Lambert that she had been a ‘big fan’ of his performance at the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee last year.

She also told how Charlotte was learning the piano and had watched British Grammy award-winning singer-songwriter Jacob Collier playing on YouTube.

Collier’s performance of George Michael’s song Last Christmas on John Lennon’s old piano was the highlight of the night.

The Princess herself unveiled a very special festive gift to guests at the concert – a rendition of Last Christmas played on John Lennon’s piano.

Also present were Kate’s sister Pippa, the Duchess of Edinburgh and Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie. Pippa opted for a chic £450 tweed suit from Salvoni as she arrived at the Abbey accompanied by husband James Matthews.

Beatrice’s seven-year-old stepson, Christopher Wolfe ‘Wolfie’ Mapelli Mozzi, wore a beige jacket with green trim and bronze buttons as he joined his parents at the event.

Among the 1,500 invited guests were parents, carers, early educators, midwives, health visitors and community volunteers who have either been nominated or personally invited by the princess.

Readings were delivered by Prince William, actors Jim Broadbent and Michael Ward, and TV presenter Emma Willis.

Lennon’s piano, on which the former Beatle composed the song Imagine, was loaned by the estate of the late George Michael. The pop star, who died on Christmas Day 2016, had bought the piano for £1.45million in 2000.

The event at Westminster Abbey will be broadcast on Christmas Eve on ITV1 and ITVX.
