Prince Louis resembles one major family member as he joined his parents and siblings for the annual walk to church on Christmas Day

Royal enthusiasts were all abuzz on Christmas morning as the three young royals took center stage, accompanying Kate Middleton and Prince William to their traditional church visit in Sandringham.

However, it’s Prince Louis who has captured everyone’s attention with his uncanny resemblance to a certain family member.

The six year old prince was brimming with excitement alongside brother Prince George, 11, and sister Princess Charlotte, 9, as he received gifts from well-wishers, including stuffed animals, after the service on December 25.

Social media was quickly flooded with comments about Louis’s striking similarity to his maternal grandfather, Michael Middleton.

One fan gushed, “This young man looks so much like his maternal grandfather! The resemblance is uncanny! ” Among the treasures Prince Louis collected were a box of Cadbury’s chocolates, Christmas crackers, bouquets, and an array of stuffed toys. With his arms laden with presents, he proudly showed his haul to his siblings and parents, at times struggling to manage the bounty.

Echoing the sentiment, another fan posted, “All I see is Michael Middleton” while another exclaimed, “Prince Louis is the spitting image of Grandad Michael Middleton! ” A further comment read: “Prince Louis is Michael Middleton’s mini-me.”

At this year’s Together at Christmas service, which was hosted by the Princess of Wales and brought together the royal family and special guests for the festive season, Kate’s parents, Michael and Carole Middleton, were present to support their daughter, reports the Express.

Kate’s parents were spotted in the audience at Westminster Abbey, beaming with pride as their daughter led the evening with grace. The three royal children accompanied their parents on a short walk from Sandringham House to St Mary Magdalene Church for the special 11am service.

The Princess of Wales, holding hands with her youngest, Louis, looked radiant in a festive green coat by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen. This year, about 45 guests, including Camilla’s children, celebrated Christmas at Sandringham.

Among the guests were food writer Tom Parker Bowles, 50, and art curator Laura Lopes, 46, along with their families, marking their first time celebrating Christmas at Sandringham.
