PRINCESS Kate beamed as she high-fived scouts at last night's Christmas carol service – saying they were "inspiring". <\/p>\n
The\u00a0Princess of Wales was dazzling in an all-white suit as she crouched down to chat with the youngsters at the Together at Christmas concert. <\/p>\n
\n
\n<\/p>\n
The schoolchildren from the 3rd Upton Scout Group in Slough could be seen grinning as Kate popped over to say hello during the festive service at Westminister Abbey.<\/p>\n
They had been part of a group of kids who volunteered in The Big Help Out event on King Charles' Coronation weekend.<\/p>\n
Princess Kate high-fived the youngsters after telling them: "It was really inspiring.<\/p>\n
"Seriously, good job."<\/p>\n
The young scouts were amongst the children who had gone "above and beyond" for their country – including seven-year-old Oscar Burrow. <\/p>\n The schoolboy from Lancaster sat and chatted to Kate after he raised more than \u00a340,000 for Derian House Children's Hospice. <\/p>\n Oscar raised the money for the charity, which offers respite and end-of-life care for children, by climbing 12 mountains by the age of six. <\/p>\n His mum Kimberley Burrow said afterwards that Princess Kate had said the seven-year-old was "doing a fantastic job" and that she hoped he'd inspire other youngsters. <\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n The Princess hosted last night's event, which Brits will get to see on Christmas Eve. <\/p>\n She was snapped waving to crowds as she made her way inside ahead of the event. <\/p>\n The Princess was then joined by\u00a0Prince William\u00a0and their three youngsters.<\/p>\n Princess Charlotte,\u00a0Prince George\u00a0and\u00a0Prince Louis\u00a0looked gorgeous in their blue and maroon coats, as they held their parents' hands and headed into the festive event.<\/p>\n The children could be seen holding letters – which they then posted to less fortunate children in time for Christmas.<\/p>\n After the service,\u00a0Louis showed his cheeky side\u00a0as the trio held candles.<\/p>\n The young prince was seen playfully blowing out his big sister's candle as Princess Kate laughed.<\/p>\n Ahead of the service, Kate was seen chatting to\u00a0Dame Sheila Hancock.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Kate's sister\u00a0Pippa Middleton\u00a0and husband\u00a0James Matthews\u00a0also headed into the Abbey.<\/p>\n Other royals included Sophie Wessex the\u00a0Duchess of Edinburgh,\u00a0Princess Eugenie\u00a0and\u00a0Princess Beatrice.<\/p>\n Stars like\u00a0Adam Lambert\u00a0and\u00a0Freya Ridings\u00a0were also photographed making their way in to perform for the crowds.<\/p>\n While the service was filmed on Friday, it won't be broadcast until 7.45pm on\u00a0Christmas\u00a0Eve.<\/p>\n A teaser clip for the\u00a0Royal\u00a0Carols: Together At Christmas programme featuring\u00a0Kate aired on ITV1 on Thursday.<\/p>\n In it, Kate said: "Join me this Christmas Eve for a special carol service, as we say a heartfelt thank-you to all those supporting the very youngest members of our society during those crucial early years."<\/p>\n The\u00a0Princess dazzled when she hosted the carols last year, too.<\/p>\n<\/picture>LITTLE ANGELS <\/span><\/p>\n
