For the first time since 2019, and the cancellations prompted by the Covid19 pandemic, the royal family took part in their annual Christmas Day walk to the Church of St. Mary Magdalene in Sandringham where they attended the holiday service.
Led by King Charles and Camilla Queen Consort, Prince William and Kate Middleton were accompanied by all three of their children, Prince George, nine, Princess Charlotte, seven, and, for the first time, Prince Louis, four.
For the Christmas event, Kate Middleton ran with the festive mood and opted to wear a sleek, modern green coat dress, which featured a cinched waist, mock neck, several pockets, and pleated decorations down the torso.
The stunning midi-length dress was paired with a matching brimmed green suede fedora, brown suede heeled boots, and black gloves.
The dress's high neck allowed the royal to skip a necklace and she instead accessorised with an ornate pair of gold chandelier earrings with blue stones.
Standing by her side, Prince William opted for a classic navy ensemble, pairing his suit with a white shirt, black shoes and long wool coat. Prince George complimented his father, matching his style also in a navy suit, white shirt, and blue bowtie.
