  • Every year on Christmas Day, the royal family comes together for the annual service at St. Mary Magdalene Church in Sandringham.
  • Prince William and Princess Kate's three children were also there.
  • Their 9-year-old daughter Charlotte in particular caused quite a stir. The reason: a selfie.

On Christmas Day, the royal family came together for the annual service at St. Mary Magdalene Church in Sandringham.

The protocol also includes the traditional walk through a line of royal fans. And they were not disappointed this year: King Charles (76), Prince William (42), Princess Kate (42) and other family members were busy shaking hands and having a little chat here and there.

The Princess took time for a selfie

William and Kate's three children were also there. Princess Charlotte (9) in particular seemed to have a lot of fun, as reported by "Hello" magazine. Instead of just greeting politely and accepting presents, she took time for a selfie with a fan. Actually an absolute no-go in royal circles.

The informal manner of Charlotte, who wore a blue coat dress with tartan embroidery, reminded many of her late grandmother Lady Diana. Prince William's mother was also known for having no fear of contact with royal fans.
