The royal family is giving back to those in need ahead of the holidays.
In a newly released video from the Prince and Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton and her three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, prepared gift bags filled with toys, clothes, books and more.
Middleton and her children headed to a Baby Bank in Maidenhead, about six miles from their home in Windsor, where they donated their time.

While sifting through the toys, young Louis finds a toy gorilla, which he holds up and says, “This is a big guy!”
“You can see how rewarding this work is,” Middleton tells George in the clip. “Knowing that you’re helping out others.”

Baby Banks in the U.K. are a vital resource for a number of families with young children struggling to make ends meet.
“With a quarter of families with a child under five years of age living in poverty in the U.K., Baby Banks provide a vital lifeline for those in all sorts of challenging circumstances,” a statement from the released video says.
