Before heading into Westminster Abbey, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis added links of red paper to a "connection tree outside," each having written their name on their link. The decoration was meant to symbolize the power of togetherness and the importance of connection with one another.
Inside the service, the three children joined the congregation in holding lit candles during a song performance.
