This Christmas season, the royal family is bonding over pudding.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge published adorable photos on their Instagram and Twitter accounts showcasing four generations of the family having a little Christmastime fun. Prince William, Prince Charles, and Queen Elizabeth II look on in delight as little Prince George stirs up a batch of holiday pudding.

Then, in a second photo, we get to see each of the four generations of British royalty preparing their own bowls.

The photos tie into an initiative by the Royal British Legion" 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," according to the Kensington Palace's Twitter account. The initiative, aptly named "Together at Christmas," will launch in 2020.

The Legion has been around since 1921 and supports the UK's armed forces and their families, with programs such as its recovery and rehabilitation services.

The Queen seems to be eating up (pun intended) the time with her great-grandson Prince George, smiling down at George as he stirs a bowl of the special Christmas pudding.

The Royals are doing the run-up to Christmas just right — spending precious time with family while also giving back to their community.
