The Princess of Wales Puts a Sophisticated Spin on Festive Plaid for Christmas Day at Sandringham

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.)
