He made his first appearance at a royal engagement earlier this month, but Princess Beatrice's son Wolfie was nowhere to be seen at the royal church outing at Sandringham on Christmas Day.
In fact, Christopher, known as “Wolfie”, seven, swapped real princesses for fairytale princesses on a Disney cruise ship with his mother, architect Dara Huang, 40, reports Richard Eden.
The two then joined Dara's family in Florida, where she grew up.
Last Christmas, Wolfie stayed in Norfolk with his stepmother Bea, his father, property developer Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi and his two-year-old half-sister Sienna.

Wolfie didn't miss out on all the royal festivities, however, as he attended the Together At Christmas service at Westminster Abbey with Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis earlier this month.
Wolfie has been kept out of the public eye, but proudly walked hand in hand with Beatrice into Westminster Abbey on Friday. Beatrice has previously described Wolfie as a “bonus child”, while Sarah Ferguson describes him as her grandson.
Last year he accompanied the King and Queen on their walk to church in Sandringham on Christmas Day.
Dara Huang was engaged to interior designer Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi (39) before marrying the king's niece, Princess Beatrice (34).

Miss Huang, 39, was born and raised in America, where her maternal grandfather emigrated from Taiwan. She was granted British citizenship earlier this year.
The Florida-raised, Harvard-educated architect received a bachelor's degree from the University of Florida and transferred to the Ivy League school for her master's in architecture.
Edoardo was previously engaged to Dara for three and a half years before they split in 2018, a year before he proposed to Princess Beatrice.
Due to the pandemic, Beatrice and Edoardo tied the knot on July 17, 2020 in a low-key ceremony at the Royal Chapel of All Saints at the Royal Lodge in Windsor. The last Queen and Prince Philip were present and Wolfie acted as best man.
Beatrice and Edoardo had their daughter Sienna Elizabeth in September last year. Beatrice, the first-born daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, gave birth to baby girl Sienna, weighing 2.7 kilograms, at 11.42pm at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in London.
Edo and Dara share custody of their son Christopher Woolf – known as Wolfie – and Dara is said to remain on good terms with her ex and his wife, who is a practical stepmother.
When Beatrice married real estate developer Edo in 2020, she became the first royal stepparent of the young generation of royals.
Ms Huang has previously expressed relief that the seven-year-old is being educated in Britain rather than America, where she fears he may have become another victim of a school shooting.
“I'm glad my son doesn't go to school in the US,” Dara said online. “I can sleep at night knowing he won’t die at his desk tomorrow morning.”
