Prince Louis vs Dad: The Great Chocolate Heist at Sandringham! 🍫 — Cheeky Prince Louis Steals the Show (and Dad’s Lindt Egg) in Hilarious Christmas Morning Moment That Has Everyone Laughing 😍

Christmas at Sandringham delivered its usual dose of tradition and pageantry on December 25, 2025 — but once again, it was the youngest member of the Wales family, Prince Louis, who turned the annual walk to St Mary Magdalene Church into pure gold with his irresistible love for chocolate!

The 7-year-old royal proved he’s the undisputed MVP of the day when a well-wisher handed an oversized Lindt chocolate egg to Prince William. In a split-second move straight out of a comedy sketch, Louis swooped in, snatched it from his dad’s hands, hugged it tightly to his chest with both arms, and triumphantly lifted it high like a trophy. William burst into laughter, the crowd melted into smiles, and the moment instantly went viral as the sweetest highlight of the festive outing.

Louis wasn’t letting go — he clutched his prize protectively while the family greeted hundreds of well-wishers, even as his siblings Prince George and Princess Charlotte collected flowers, toys, and other treats. The scene captured everything fans adore about Louis: spontaneous, joyful, and completely unfiltered.

Louis’ chocolate obsession is becoming legendary — last year he famously asked “Papa, can you carry some?” after being overwhelmed with Cadbury treats. This year’s heist just adds to the charm, reminding everyone that beneath the royal titles are just kids (and parents) enjoying the simple joys of Christmas.

The family — including Prince William, Princess Catherine, George, Charlotte, and Louis — joined King Charles and Queen Camilla for the service and walkabout, before heading back for traditional lunch and the King’s broadcast. These unscripted moments of warmth and laughter are what make the holidays so special.
