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.

Princess Kate's sister Pippa and her husband James Matthews were also seen entering the Abbey.

The Princess of Wales was expected to deliver a rendition of Last Christmas played on John Lennon's piano, MailOnline reports.

The piano has been loaned to the Royal Family by the estate of the late pop icon George Michael, who bought it for nearly £1.5m in 2000.

The event will be broadcast on Christmas Eve.
