With Christmas just a few days away, many are taking part in early holiday festivities -- including the royal family.
In newly released photographs, Prince George is front and center making Christmas puddings, a holiday staple in England, with Queen Elizabeth, Prince Charles and Prince William at Buckingham Palace.
The series of photos are part of the launch of The Royal British Legion’s ‘Together at Christmas’ initiative, which is to provide extra support to the Armed Forces and veteran communities at annual festive ‘get togethers’ across the charity’s network.

New photos of The Queen, The Prince of Wales, The Duke of Cambridge and Prince George have been released as part of the launch of the @RoyalBritishLegion’s ‘Together at Christmas’ initiative. The initiative is designed to provide extra support to the Armed Forces and veteran communities at annual festive ‘get togethers’ across the charity’s network of outreach centres. The four generations of the Royal Family are pictured here preparing special Christmas puddings — with the four representing a cross-section of those supported by the Legion, from the children of service personnel, to Second World War veterans. The puddings will become the centrepieces of 2020’s get togethers, and form part of 99 puddings distributed across the charity’s network in the UK and the Commonwealth - also marking The Royal British Legion’s 99th year.
