The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have stepped out with their children Prince George and Princess Charlotte for a Christmas morning church service.
This comes as other members of the family gather for one of the highlights in the royal calendar - their annual church service at Sandringham.
In a break from tradition, William and Kate have this year chosen to spend the holidays with her parents, Michael and Carol Middleton, at their home in the village of Bucklebury, Berkshire, some 170 miles away from the Sandringham estate.
The pair and their children were joined by Kate's parents and brother James as well as her newly-engaged sister Pippa Middleton and James Matthews for the service at St Mark's Church in Englefield,
Berkshire - where Pippa is set to marry next year.
