Prince William 'steals' Prince Louis’ chocolate in viral video
Each year, crowds gather to greet the royals and offer gifts, ranging from flowers to small trinkets, as they head to the Christmas morning service.
In 2024, the Prince and Princess of Wales, accompanied by their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis received numerous presents from well-wishers. However, it was Prince William’s quick move to secure his son’s chocolate that has captured attention online.
In the now-viral clip shared on YouTube and TikTok, Prince Louis is seen holding chocolate bars before his father gently takes one and places it in his jacket pocket. While some viewers found the moment amusing, others speculated on the reasoning behind the future king’s actions.
The clip has garnered over 47,000 views, with text overlay humorously stating, “Prince William steals Prince Louis’ chocolate.”
Social media commenters were quick to weigh in, many suggesting that the prince’s move was a precautionary measure.
“He didn’t steal it,” one user commented. “Parents know that when kids are handed something from strangers, you take it away for safety reasons. God knows what could be in it!”
Another added: “As a parent, I’ve worried about Halloween candy for the same reason. Imagine being a royal and the risks they face.”
Others highlighted royal protocol, explaining that the family avoids consuming food items from the public due to security concerns. “Fair play to him,” wrote one commenter. “You never know what people have done to it.”
Princess Charlotte breaks royal tradition at Sandringham
Nine-year-old Princess Charlotte charmed royal fans during the annual Sandringham Christmas Day walkabout by stepping beyond traditional royal protocol.
Joining her family, Prince William, Princess Kate, and her brothers, Prince George and Prince Louis, Charlotte delighted onlookers by agreeing to a fan’s request for a selfie, a move that signaled a new era of royal engagement.
Following the family’s attendance at the Christmas Day church service at St Mary Magdalene Church, Charlotte greeted well-wishers waiting outside. While the usual royal practice involves handshakes and receiving small gifts, the princess added a personal touch by stopping to pose for a photo, smiling brightly alongside a fan.
This isn’t the first time Charlotte has embraced the selfie trend. Earlier this year, she was seen in a candid photograph taken during Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour, which she attended with her father, Prince William, and brother Prince George. The outing was described as a memorable moment for Charlotte amid a challenging period for her family.
“Princess Charlotte is the huge Taylor Swift fan in the family,” an insider shared with Entertainment Tonight. “She had been looking forward to the concert for months. With her mum undergoing cancer treatment, it was a special way to celebrate her Papa’s birthday together.”
