Princess Kate beams on Christmas Day walk to church with George, Charlotte and Louis
The Princess of Wales was pictured walking to church on Christmas Day with her family.
Fans wish the Royal Family a Merry Christmas
The Princess of Wales smiled to wellwishers as she and her family walked to church for a festive service on Christmas morning. Walking beside her husband, the Prince of Wales, and their three children, Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, the family beamed in the morning sunshine.
Princess Catherine embraced refined country-chic on Christmas morning, stepping out in a brown checked coat by Blazé Milano. The sharply tailored piece was a familiar - she last wore it back in 2021 outside St. Mary’s Church, underscoring her long-standing commitment to rewearing key items rather than chasing novelty.
This appearance carried particular emotional weight, as it was the same coat she chose earlier this year for her visit to the Royal Marsden Hospital, lending the look a quiet sense of continuity and resilience.

The decision felt especially poignant following the Princess of Wales’s cancer diagnosis in 2024, making the reappearance of the coat read as both personal and purposeful.
Rather than opting for something new, Catherine leaned into thoughtful styling, allowing familiarity and meaning to take centre stage.
Catherine styled her hair in her signature loose waves, while she sported a smoky eye and a fresh base for her make up.
Led by the King and Queen, the royals walked the short distance from Sandringham House to St Mary Magdalene Church on Charles's private Sandringham Estate.
Aside from the Waleses, Charles and Camilla were joined by Princess Royal and husband Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence, Anne's daughter Zara Tindall and her husband, former England rugby player Mike Tindall and Princess Beatrice with Princess Eugenie and their families.
Missing was the disgraced Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, whose friendship with Jeffrey Epstein proved his downfall and saw him stripped of his titles by the King.
Charles waved to the hundreds of well-wishers clad in festive attire, who had gathered on the estate since the early hours of Christmas morning to wish the Royal Family a very Merry Christmas.
After the 45-minute service, the King and Queen walked out with the Rector before heading to meet royal fans, some of whom had camped overnight for a chance to meet the monarch and other members of the family.
Catherine walked out with Charlotte after a sweet video of mother and daughter performing a piano duet together for Catherine’s Christmas carol service was released on Christmas Eve.
They had pre-recorded the piece at Windsor Castle last week to open the broadcast of the event that was broadcast on Wednesday evening on ITV1.
The 10-year-old princess was busy chatting away with her two cousins, Mia and Lena, as her brothers and father followed behind.
William lovingly put his arm around young Louis as he chatted to the Rector, wishing him a “very Merry Christmas” before the family walked over to greet the waiting public.
Catherine was laden with flowers and gifts as she made her way through the crowds of well-wishers outside the church.
Her children also had their hands full of gifts, with Louis clutching a blue Mickey Mouse toy and Charlotte being handed beautiful bouquets and teddy bears. George was seen holding selection boxes of chocolates.
The young trio seemed at ease as they shook hands and spoke warmly to members of the public, with Catherine trailing behind, determined to speak to as many people as possible before walking back to the house for a festive feast.
