>> overseas, prince william and his bride are getting into the spirit of the season with a visit to a charity dear to the heart of his mother, princess diana . the duke of cambridge showed off some pretty smooth dance moves on the dance floor . nbc's stephanie gosk is at buckingham palace . stephanie, good morning.
>> reporter: good morning, carl. this was really the perfect event for william and kate . it was laid back. they didn't have to get dressed up. they were comfortable around the cameras and the kids. prince william at one point even said to one of them, i look forward to bringing my own children here one day. just days before christmas the duke and duchess of cambridge had one official visit of the year left, to center point, a homeless shelter for young people . casually dressed, william and kate mingled easily, chatting with kids, baking cookies.
>> kate made me this for my 18th birthday. it's really beautiful and i'm going to cherish it.
>> reporter: there was even a little dancing. the prince showed off hip hop moves no one knew he had, impressing the kids and, clearly, amusing his wife.
>> they seemed like they were quite comfortable and so that was a nice thing to see.
>> reporter: of all the charities william supports, center point is probably the most important here. it was his mother's favorite. the prince famously spent the night sleeping outside with the homeless two years ago. now kate is by his side and looking very much at ease.
>> she seems to be genuinely interested in what she's doing with regard to the charity work that she's become involved insofar.
>> reporter: the young royals get a break now after a whirlwind week of holiday events and they will need the rest. 2012 is going to be a very busy year for the royal family . william and kate will play a high profile role in the year's two most important events, the olympics, and the queen's diamond jubilee , a celebration of her 60-year reign.
>> they'll play a focal role in all the celebrations in london, including being by the queen's side when she sails down the thames at the head of a flotilla of a thousand ships.
>> reporter: the royal family will also visit dozens of the uk commonwealth countries as part of the jubilee. the duke and duchess will be traveling the furthest, to the tiny tuvalu islands in the south pacific . the queen and prince philip were last there in 1982 . for now, william and kate will gather at the queen's estate and it will be her first christmas as a royal. but after a year of firsts, the duchess has proven she fits right in. now, speculation is swirling over what william is going to get kate for christmas . the general consensus at this point is that the duchess of cambridge is getting a puppy. i hope i haven't ruined any surprises. carl?
