The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge walk hand in hand to church on Christmas

The biggest royal contingent in years set upon the Queen’s Sandrigham estate to celebrate Christmas yesterday and despite last week’s reports that those further down in the pecking order would have to sleep in servants rooms (the horror!), it looks like yesterday’s festivities went off without a hitch. Spirits were high, especially for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge who walked to St. Mary Magdalene church hand in hand and greeted well-wishers on the way. Many asked after Prince George, though unsurprisingly, he did not make an appearance. Prince Harry did make an appearance, sporting his fresh from the South Pole beard alongside Will and Kate.

Kate’s outfit was a repeat of one of her most popular pieces, a McQ by Alexander McQueen tartan coat, and a new hat by Gina Foster. The coat first made an appearance back in November 2012, when a just-pregnant duchess played hockey at her former prep school, Saint Andrew’s. Kate wore her Aquatalia Rhumba boots and Kiki McDonough green amethyst drop earrings.

Earlier in the day, the Duchess of Cambridge wore another repeated piece, a cream-hued coat by UFO she first wore back in March to a wedding in Switzerland. Overtop, she wore another tartan, this time a red cashmere wrap by Really Wild Clothing.
