The five-year-old royal again stole the show and made Kate laugh as he pranked his older sister.

Royal fans will remember how he delighted viewers when he playfully put his hands over his ears and pulled faces during a Buckingham Palace flyover this year.

The Princess of Wales was joined by Prince William and their three children on Thursday for her annual Christmas carol service.
