Christmas typically starts in the wee hours of the morning for most parents— even in the royal family.
While greeting fans following Christmas church service on Sunday, Kate Middleton revealed she had already been up for hours getting ready for the big holiday in a video posted to Twitter.
After accepting a bouquet of flowers from a young girl named India, the well-wisher asked if she was having a nice morning.
“I’ve had a lovely morning, thank you very much… quite an early start this morning,” the 40-year-old joked as another onlooker inquired about her children’s presents.

“They got lots of lovely things, thank you very much,” the mother of three replied.
Although Middleton didn’t elaborate on what gifts were under the tree this year, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex did share a holiday watercolor painting by their oldest son George to social media.
As Middleton was walking away, a third person revealed the crowd had bet on which color Middleton would wear for the holiday — which turned out to be another monochromatic moment.
Middleton got into the Christmas spirit in different shades of green — including an old coat dress by Alexander McQueen, a green ribbed Mango dress and a chic green hat with a feather.
She completed the look with all all-brown accessories such as a pair of suede boots, a matching clutch and leather gloves.
Meanwhile, Prince George, 9, and Prince William coordinated in blue suits with white dress shirts and blue ties.
Similarly, Prince Louis, 4, twinned with Princess Charlotte, 7, in the same Trotters coat — with Louis opting for the navy version while his sister wore burgundy.
Despite nearly the entire royal family — including King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla — attending the walkabout outside St. Mary Magdalene Church, the youngest royal stole the show once again.
One royal fan captured the moment Louis ran to catch up with his family after thinking they had left him behind. In the hilarious video, the preschooler yelled for his older sister as he scurried past the crowd, who burst into laughter.
Once he realized they were simply moving on to talk with another group of onlookers, the youngster decided it was time to go and started tugging his mother’s arm in an attempt to move things along.
This was the first time the Prince and Princess of Wales’ youngest joined the family for the annual holiday church service.
