Each Christmas Day, Kate Middleton gives us another one fashion moment, and this year is no different.

As tradition dictates, the Royal family gathered for religious service at St Mary Magdalene in Sandringham, Norfolk.

Kate opted for a stylish ensemble, wearing a long green Alexander McQueen coat, in a dark forest green shade. Alexander McQueen is one of the princess’s favorites, who regularly wears the designer’s pieces for special occasions.

She accessorized the look with a tartan scarf and black heeled boots.

The princess often chooses to wear a hat, this year with a Gina Foster cap. It’s a longtime wardrobe staple, as Kate previously wore it in the 2014 St. Patrick’s Day Parade.

The Alexander McQueen is also a rewear. We saw Kate wearing the same coat in January last year as she launched her Shaping Us campaign in Leeds.

The 42-year-old was accompanied to the church by Prince William and their children, Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, six.

Royal fans line up all night to get a glimpse of the annual Royal crowd.

In addition to her immediate family, Kate joined other members of the royal family for the service. King Charles, Queen Camilla, Princess Beatrice, Prince Edward and his wife Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh, and others were also in attendance.

Kate has attended the Christmas Day church service every year since her wedding in 2011.

She has worn a variety of stylish looks, often opting for seasonal jewel tones like a burgundy Hobbs coat in 2016 and a deep blue Alexander McQueen coat in 2023.

The princess also often favors tartan, sporting this pattern on various occasions. Perhaps the most memorable was her Mui Mui coat worn in 2017, when she was pregnant with Prince Louis.

It’s been a tough year for the royal family, as Kate Middleton and King Charles battled cancer.

Kate shocked the public in March 2024, when she revealed that she undergo treatment for cancer.

She reduced her royal duties, appearing in public on only a few occasions, including The parade of color in June, and among men Wimbledon final in July.

But in September 2024, the world was delighted to learn that Kate had completed his treatment.

In a poignant video message, she thanked her fans for their support, adding: “Doing what I can to stay cancer-free is now my goal.

“Although I have completed chemotherapy, my road to healing and full recovery is long and I must continue to take each day as it comes.”
