The source told Fabulous Digital: “The Cambridges are in Hurlingham Club far more than anyone realises.

“The new children's soft play area is great for happy Prince Louis, and other mums at the club are all very discreet.

“School friends of Prince George and Princess Charlotte from Thomas’s Battersea have invited the royal duo to the club’s Fairytale Grotto in the Log Cabin.

“This is part of the outdoor Hurlingham Children's Play area where Santa Claus has been spotted already.”

To help the club’s kids get in the holiday spirit, there will be a large children’s party hosted for youngsters aged around four to seven. 

It hasn’t been confirmed if the Cambridge kids will attend, but it is thought they will spend time at the club ahead of Christmas. 

The source added: “Jungle Tumble is on offer daily, and Louis has used the soft play area.

“Norland nannies tend to congregate with their charges as these activities must be supervised by an adult.”
