Prince Carl Philipof Sweden had an adorable helper when he took part in a holiday tradition tracing back decades.

Prince Alexander, 2, was on-hand to help his father accept Christmas trees at the Royal Palace of Stockholm on Monday. Students from the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences have been presenting the palace with the evergreens every year since the end of the 1960s.

“Today I received the help of a small elf to receive Christmas trees at the Royal Palace from students from the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences,” the sweet father-son snap was captioned.

Prince Alexander has already started his public life as a member of the Swedish royal family. In August, he joined his parents at the Nynas Nature Reserve in Gisesjon, Sweden, where ascenic lookout and a path were dedicated in the boy’s honor. He was already a pro at waving to the cameras as he embarked on a horse-drawn carriage ride through the preserve and broke a ribbon to officially open the viewpoint.

Alexander was also seen getting in the holiday spirit earlier this month, when his parents shared a photo of Princess Sofia and her son celebrating Advent at an outdoor market.
