Louis, Charlotte And George STOLE THE SPOTLIGHT As They Step Out on Christmas Day with Kate & Willi
The Prince and Princess of Wales were all smiles as they stepped out on Christmas Day for the annual church service with the King and Queen. Princess Catherine wore a festive green coat by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen, a matching hat, and a blue and green checkered scarf as she held hands with her youngest child, Prince Louis, 6.
The youngest members of the royal family—Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis—stole the spotlight during the traditional Christmas Day walkabout at Sandringham. The royal trio, accompanied by their parents, delighted well-wishers as they joined King Charles and other senior royals for the festive outing.
Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis shyly waved to locals as they walked to St. Mary Magdalene Church with their parents. Prince George, 11, looked smart and poised as he led the way alongside his younger siblings. Nine-year-old Princess Charlotte charmed onlookers with her sweet smiles, while six-year-old Prince Louis once again captured hearts with his cheeky demeanor and playful waves.
The family walked from St. Mary Magdalene Church, where they attended the annual Christmas morning service, to greet the crowds who had gathered to catch a glimpse of the royals. It marked Prince William and Catherine’s first appearance with their three children since the Princess hosted her Christmas Carol service at Westminster Abbey on December 6, 2023.
Princess Catherine radiated elegance in a royal blue Alexander McQueen coat as she joined Prince William and their three children for the traditional Christmas morning service. The Princess accessorized her striking ensemble with customized Gianvito Rossi Glenn 85 boots and a pair of earrings previously worn by Princess Diana, bringing a heartfelt nod to her late mother-in-law.
Walking alongside Prince William, Catherine appeared relaxed and cheerful, embodying the spirit of the season. Adding to the festive charm was little Prince Louis, holding hands with his cousin Mia Tindall, the eldest daughter of Zara and Mike Tindall. Their playful interaction highlighted the family’s strong bonds and added a touch of warmth to the occasion.
After the service, the royal party returned to Sandringham House, where a traditional festive feast awaited. From turkey with all the trimmings to a delectable selection of desserts, the gathering was steeped in holiday cheer.
In 2022, the Princess of Wales joined key members of the royal family, including King Charles and Queen Camilla, for the Sandringham Christmas service. Despite the grandeur of the occasion, Catherine chose understated sophistication with her olive-green Alexander McQueen coat, previously worn during her visit to Bradford in 2020, paired with brown suede boots, a wide-brimmed olive hat by Philip Treacy, and Sézane earrings. The Princess’s ensemble exuded winter elegance, reflecting her grounded nature and connection to royal traditions.
The pandemic years saw a break in the royal family’s usual Christmas plans, with festivities at Sandringham suspended. Despite the unusual circumstances, Catherine and William prioritized family time at Anmer Hall, focusing on intimate celebrations with their children.
In 2019, she turned heads in a Catherine Walker gray coat paired with forest green accessories. In a heartwarming touch, Princess Charlotte mirrored her mother’s style with a matching green coat, showcasing the pair’s close bond. Meanwhile, in a throwback to 2018, Catherine dazzled in an elegant wine-colored coat complete with velvet detailing. Her accessory choices—from fascinators to statement earrings—consistently reinforce her status as a global fashion icon.
This year’s festivities at Sandringham are particularly meaningful for Princess Catherine. Following major abdominal surgery in January and months of chemotherapy after her public cancer diagnosis in March, this Christmas symbolizes her resilience and recovery. Throughout her treatment, Catherine’s public appearances were rare, allowing her to focus on her health and her role as a mother.
The return of her radiant smile this festive season serves as a testament to her strength and the unwavering support of her family. As the royal family gathers at Sandringham, the holiday is not just a celebration of tradition but also a reflection of unity and gratitude.
For Princess Catherine, this Christmas represents hope, renewal, and the joy of being surrounded by loved ones.
