Four generations of the royal family are getting cooking!
They came together to prepare four special Christmas puddings, which traditionally bring good luck. The desserts will be centerpieces at the Legion Christmas get-togethers in 2020, as part of their new Together at Christmas initiative to provide extra support to the Armed Forces community around the holidays.
Kensington Palace shared a video on Instagram Tuesday ofPrince George, 6, working hard at stirring his pudding asPrince William,Prince Charles, andQueen Elizabethassisted him with big smiles.
“The Queen, The Prince of Wales, The Duke of Cambridge andPrince Georgemake Christmas puddings at Buckingham Palace as part of the Royal British Legion’s ‘Together at Christmas’ initiative,” the post read.
Royal photographer Chris Jackson captured photos from the special gathering, which took place in front of a decked-out Christmas tree. The royals also posed for a group shot with five veterans.

The pudding making session likely took place ahead ofQueen Elizabeth’s annual Christmas lunch at Buckingham Palace, which traditionally takes place before she leaves her London residence for Sandringham to spend the holiday.
Prince GeorgeandPrince William, 37, arrived separately from the rest of their family — with thelittle royal riding shotgun! — for the family gathering, perhaps to have time for the special moment with the 93-year-old monarch andPrince Charles, 71.

“I love making the cake,” she shared. “It’s become a bit of a tradition that I stay up ’til midnight with ridiculous amounts of cake mix and icing and I make far too much. But I love it.”
The Royal British Legion’s Director General, Charles Byrne, said: “Bringing people, families and communities together lies at the heart of the Legion’s work and has done since we were founded in 1921. As we head towards our centenary in 2021, we are proud to start a new tradition for our community with the support of our Patron, Her Majesty The Queen, and three generations of her family.
