After charming the world during Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee celebrations earlier this year, Prince Louis is set to join the royal family's traditional Christmas Day walk for the first time.

Every Christmas senior royal family members get together for the annual Christmas Day walk to the St Mary Magdalene Church.

The walk begins at Sandringham House and finishes at St Mary Magdalene Church where the family attend the morning service.

During the 300-metre public stroll, the royals meet and greet crowds of people who line the route to the church.

And this year the four-year-old prince is tipped to make an appearance at the annual walkabout.

Louis' sister, seven-year-old Princess Charlotte, also made her debut on the festive walk when she was four years old in 2019.

The royal family have celebrated the festive season at the Norfolk estate since 1988 but due to the pandemic, Queen Elizabeth - who died in September - remained at her Windsor Castle residence for Christmas in 2020 and 2021.

However, King Charles has opted to return to tradition this year.
