It may be a very royal Christmas forPrince GeorgeandPrincess Charlotte!
Each year the royal family makes their public walk to the holiday services at the Church of St. Mary Magdalene onQueen Elizabeth‘s Sandringham estate — and they may have some new faces joining them next week.
A source tells PEOPLE that both George, 6, and Charlotte, 4, are set to make their Christmas Day debut this year alongside parentsPrince WilliamandKate Middleton— but that things could always change.
Prince Louismade his big debut at Trooping the Colour this year, but at 1, he’s likely too young to join his parents and siblings on Christmas.
While it would bePrince GeorgeandPrincess Charlotte’s first time joining the royals at church on Christmas, it won’t be the first time fans saw the adorable siblings on the holiday. In 2016,Prince Williamand Kate opted tospend the holiday with Kate’s family— and George and Charlotte were spotted attending a church service near Kate’s childhood home in Bucklebury.

When a fan asked the pair how early they got up, William replied, “This morning was about 5 a.m.” Kate smiled at the answer as the crowd moaned at the early time.
“Very early,” Kate added. “But it was lovely to see their faces.”
