Four-year-old Charlotte and older brother George, six, joined the Queen at the Royal Family's traditional Christmas Day church service and walked hand-in-hand with parents, Prince William and Kate Middleton.

And fans on Twitter even spotted the adorable princess curtsying to the Queen.

In a video clip, mum Kate can be seen curtsying, before little Charlotte copies as Her Maj leaves the church.

One fan wrote: "Okay but Charlotte’s curtsy to the Queen! OMG! So cute!

Many said it had "made their Christmas Day" while some called it the cutest thing ever".

After the service, Princess Charlotte and Prince George were spotted mingling with members of the public, with the princess even clutching an inflatable pink flamingo.

Charlotte, who was accompanied by mum Kate, was also handed a gift box by a well-wisher.

Gemma Clark, 39, who had travelled from Long Sutton in Lincolnshire with her family, gave Charlotte the inflatable flamingo and said she seemed pleased with the gift.

"She said 'Thank you'," said Ms Clark, who was in a wheelchair.

The flamingo was called Felicity, Ms Clark said, adding: "But Charlotte may call it whatever she likes now.";

She said: "It was a birthday present. My sister bought me it for my birthday and I truthfully didn't like it but we have adventures with her."

Another well-wisher presented Charlotte with a home-made doll.

Meanwhile, Princess Beatrice was also spotted at the service, walking alongside fiancé Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi.

In attending the service, the couple are thought to be breaking from tradition as Sandringham celebrations are a privilege usually reserved for members of the royal family.

The Princess of York and her husband-to-be are expected to marry in June 2020.
