The British royal family is certainly getting into the festive spirit [1]. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge recently hosted a Christmas party for military families [2], the Duke and Duchess of Sussex attended their first Christmas carol service [3], and now Queen Elizabeth II is spreading cheer with her latest appearance in London. On Wednesday, the Queen visited Coram, the UK's oldest children's charity, to open a new centre in her name, and partook in a sweet Christmas tradition in the process.

The royal shared a cute moment with a little girl as she hung her very own ornament on a Christmas tree. During her visit, she also met the oldest surviving resident from The Foundling Hospital [4], the original name of Coram. The 102-year-old man named Edward Newton actually met the Queen's late father King George during a visit in 1926 when he was just a little boy. What a small world!
