This morning, Prince William and Kate Middleton—alongside their three children, George, Charlotte, and Louis—attended the Christmas Day church service at Sandringham with various members of the royal family. It’s an annual tradition: the Windsor clan has been spending the holidays at their private family home estate for over 160 years. And for nearly as many years, they’ve headed to the nearby St. Mary Magdalene Church to worship in the morning–also making it one of the rare annual occasions where royal watchers can witness the entire family step out together.
Plus, of course, it’s an opportunity for the Princess of Wales’s legions of fans to see her latest fashionable take on festive dressing—and this year, she didn’t disappoint. The royal stepped out in a brown plaid coat by Blazé Milano, a brand that has recently become one of her tailoring go-tos—and in keeping with Kate’s fondness for a re-wear, it was a piece she’d previously sported while visiting the Royal Marsden Hospital at the beginning of 2025. (The Prince and Princess of Wales are joint patrons of The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust, and the Princess stayed at the hospital in Chelsea, London, while undergoing treatment for an undisclosed form of cancer in early 2024.)

To complete the look, the Princess wore a chocolate brown fascinator with a sculptural floral motif, a silk patterned scarf by Really Wild Clothing in complementary shades of brown and amber that she previously wore to the Christmas Day service all the way back in 2014, and a set of her beloved Cartier Trinity hoop earrings. (Princess Diana was also a fan of Cartier’s Trinity collection, often wearing one of the French jewelry house’s Trinity rings on her little finger.) Princess Charlotte, whose adorable piano duet with her mother was televised yesterday evening as part of the Princess of Wales’s annual Together at Christmas carol service, stepped out in a camel-colored tailored coat with deep brown velvet accents on the pocket and collar to coordinate seamlessly with Kate’s look.
As is tradition, the event was very much a royal family affair: also in attendance were King Charles, Queen Camilla, Princess Anne, and Prince Edward, as well as Princess Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank. It may have been another turbulent year for the British royal family, with King Charles’s ongoing health challenges and the scandal surrounding Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, who was stripped of his royal titles in October, but that hasn’t stopped them coming together during the festive period to celebrate—and present a picture of unity to the British nation.
