Charlotte also attended in a blue floral dress and navy cardigan, while William and George wore suits and ties. Also, according to PEOPLE, George practiced the Royal Handshake after the service while meeting with one of the clergy.

Toward the end of the call, William said of the holiday, "Don't worry, there's plenty of chocolate here!" but Kate turned to her husband and cheekily replied, "Keep eating!" to which Kate cheekily replied, "Keep eating!
