The British royal family is certainly getting into the holiday spirit [1]. Prince William and Kate Middleton recently hosted a Christmas party for military families [2], Prince Harry and Meghan Markle [3] attended their first Christmas carol service [4], 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 center in her name and partook in a sweet holiday 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 [5], 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!
