It looks like the children of the Prince and Princess of Wales are about to have a very merry Christmas.
After Princess Kate revealed that Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis were a little sad to miss the Royal Variety presentation, their holiday prayers have been answered.
The young royals have reportedly been invited to see West End sensation Paddington: The Musical.
This stage show, a touching adaptation of the beloved marmalade-loving bear, has already cemented its status as a British cultural institution.
Paddington shared a sandwich with the late Queen Elizabeth II during her Platinum Jubilee, and the character has since become a symbol of tribute to the monarch.
Speaking exclusively with HELLO! From the red carpet, producer Sonia Friedman said: “We can’t wait for Paddington to meet the children of the Prince and Princess of Wales – it will be very special.”
Friedman, known for hits like Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, He added: “We are very proud. It took hundreds of people and many years to get to this point, and now we are delivering it to the audience – it feels incredible.”
The royal couple already had a sneak peek, enjoying a performance from their private box during the Royal Variety Performance on November 19.
Producer Eliza Lumley described the moment as “iconic” and called it a real seal of approval for the production.
Not even Tom Fletcher could hide his excitement: “I invited Their Royal Highnesses to see the show, so I hope they can come to the theatre.
Giving them a little glimpse of the Royal Variety was surreal; “They seemed to really enjoy it and I hope the kids do too.”
