The British Royal Family gathered at St Mary Magdalene Church near Sandringham for the traditional Christmas Day service. King Charles III, Queen Camilla, the Prince and Princess of Wales, along with Prince George, Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, the Earl of Wessex, and Lady Louise, attended the traditional Christmas Day service at St Mary Magdalene Church in Sandringham.
Also in attendance were Princess Anne, Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence, Princess Beatrice, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, Zara Tindall, Mike Tindall, Mia Tindall, Sarah Chatto, Peter Phillips, and Savannah Phillips.
Anne wins for me hands down! Splendid and delightful colour combo and brilliant boots and hat, too! - Ellie
ReplyDeleteAgree !! Beautiful !!
DeleteNot my opinion, I have to say, too old-fashioned. My favorites are Sophie and her daughter Louise. So pleased to see Catherine of course, her green coat looks quite good.
DeletePlus the Earl of Snowdon and Lady Sarah Chattoo and her family! Mainly, the expected bunch, minus the Brooksbanks and Sarah, DoY. They all look cosied up and lovely. Lady Louise's shoes are quite delicate, however.
ReplyDeleteIt looks as if Catherine and Camilla chose matching outfits. And they both look wonderful. So good to see Catherine smile!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and chique outfit of Sarah Chatto !!
ReplyDeletePrincess of Wales looks beautiful as always, except the length of her coat, it is toooo long. Catherine made a faux pas by wearing green. She is not supposed to outshine the Queen. I also think she should soften her eye makeup, underlining with dark crayon is ‘passé’.
ReplyDeleteQueen Camilla looks nice.
Duchess of Edinburgh. Superb colour, that blue stands out. The coat could also be a tad shorter. There something about her hat, I cannot pinpoint, the style maybe or is it too big?
Zara. Very nice, that monochrome Aubergine colour is very trendy.
Princess Beatrice. Se looks ok. I like her camel coat even if it is a little tight. (I believe she is expecting) but I am not a fan of the green velvet bandeau.
Princess Anne. I like the jacket and the dark green (?) pleated skirt. I would prefer the boots without the tassels, but it is only a question of taste.
Lady Chatto. Winter cream coat accessorized with black, simple and elegant.

Colors of what the ladies will be wearing are submitted and approved ahead of time, so no faux pas here. Dark liner (not crayon) is still used by many models, actors, and designers, so not passe.

Lady R. Thank you for correcting me about the faux pas and the .

I don't agree with a lot of what you say. There is no faux pas by Kate. Kate will always outshine Camilla. She is a beauty. The color she wears has nothing to do with it. I can't see anything wrong with her eye makeup either. I don't believe there is anything "official" in terms of what color others can wear. The Queen and Camilla both wore purple to the Commonwealth day service, March 2019. Camilla is wearing a nice coat for once. I like the self belt as opposed to the housecoat style she usually wears. She looks much better than usual. Yes, Beatrice is expecting. If you knew that, I wonder why you mentioned her coat being too tight. Lastly, I think Anne looks very dated, as usual. That being said, it is a good thing for sustainability, just like Beatrice wearing a non-maternity coat.
DeleteYou are quite welcome mjt.
DeleteLady R
Catherine is wearing Blackwatch plaid while Camilla’s coat is a solid green. Catherine is a beauty and her lovely personality will always outshine Camila. MR
DeleteIs green more popular than red in during Christmas in Great Britain?
ReplyDeleteAnything can be worn. Anything. Last year, the Princess of Wales appeared all clad in blue. Shocking, isn't it?
DeleteNo one in the british royal family is wearing a christmas sweater!
ReplyDeleteNow, I didn't know they're supposed to. Guess what - no one in my family wears a Christmas jumper (correct British term for it) as well.
DeleteHa ha 15:29… a funny point! You have no idea what they change into when they get back home for lunch!!! Or maybe what they’re wearing under their coats?!
DeleteWho wears Christmas jumpers to church?
DeleteT
Funnily enough, our parish minister today came by our house (he had something to return that I lent to him for a play in church on Christmas Eve) and he wore a bright red Christmas jumper. Just as a random note...
DeleteDas black watch ist so edel und wundervoll und wunderschön anzusehen wie sich die Familie von Prinz William präsentiert. Es ist festlich und doch gedeckt, ein Stil den ich sehr mag, man findet es auch im Rock von Prinzessin Anne wieder. Da gibt es absolut keine Verbindung zu dem grünen Mantel der Frau des Königs. Hinter dem black watch steckt nun auch einmal Geschichte, zauberhaft wie sich die junge Familie damit optisch so elegant zeigte. -Dorothe-
ReplyDeleteIm Muster black watch ist nur der Schal der PoW, der Mantel ist grün, so grün wie der Mantel der Frau des Königs, die auch als Queen Camilla bekannt ist. Ihre Weigerung, ihren Titel zu akzeptieren ändert übrigens nichts daran, ihre Zustimmung war nicht erforderlich.
DeleteI am not sure but I think that Princess Kate’s does not look all that well which is concerning. It could be the make up or it could be that she cried. I do hope that she will be well. This green suits her well.
ReplyDeleteShe is a bit tired other than that She look beautiful as always 🌹🌺
DeleteThe Wales family looks so lovely and festive in their coordinating outfits. Charlotte really looks like William to me. Very sweet to see her holding his hand during the walk.
ReplyDelete-Royal Watcher
And what a beautiful little girl Charlotte is!
DeleteRoyal Watcher,I agree with you about Charlotte looking like her father.And Coralie, I agree with you as well,she’s a beautiful little girl, and I love her coat 😊
DeleteJe ne sais pas vers quel regard peut s'attarder mais la couleur verte autant chez Camilla que Kate est superbe ; trop mignonne Charlotte dans son manteau tartan à col dont les revers noirs !
ReplyDeleteI wish the King would wear a new winter coat, this one looks 30 years old and might be one of the late prince Philip !!
ReplyDeleteI believe it is Prince Philip's coat, indeed, and I love that the king is wearing it time and again. No new coat needed.
DeleteDSC is right!
DeleteHave you seen the bbc show which should be on YouTube where Charles discusses clothing sustainability and the environment and why he prefers to where clothes until they’re worn out? Explains his position very well and it made me think again about my own clothes.
Delete....schon schlimm genug, aber **Anonym25/12/24 17:21 bitte beachten Sie, falls Sie mich kritisieren wollen, das Prinzessin Charlotte in blackwatch gekleidet ist, die beiden Brüder Krawatten in black watch tragen und um Prinz William will ich nicht sicher sein, seine Krawatte passt sich den Farben seiner wunderbaren Familie an. **Anonym25/12/24 17:21 ....schon schlimm genug, damit meine ich - das sich Menschen hier melden und keinerlei Namen hinterlassen. Das ist auch mein Grund, Sie hier **Anonym 25/12/24 17:21 anzuschreiben, und wenn ich die Frau des Königs die Frau des Königs nennen mag, dann nenne ich sie genau so ob es Ihnen passt oder nicht ; ) -Dorothe-
ReplyDeleteHimmel, Dorothe, nun schreiben Sie doch gerne in Ihrer Sprache und nicht in diesem Holperdeutsch ;))
DeleteContenance, please!
DeleteI think it's lovely to see Catherine looking as radiant as ever. When you're relatively young, you can bounce back from life's drastic changes more easily. That said, her hair does look rather like it's had a bit of help, perhaps extensions, a bit of backcombing, or clip-ins. Not that it's a bad thing – sometimes we women need to give ourselves a little boost to look our best. She looks fantastic, as does the whole family, except Beatrice, but given she's pregnant, I suppose it's understandable that her fashion choices are a bit off currently. Frieda
ReplyDeleteQueen Camilla and Catherine both look marvelous in their Xmas green. Love both ladies hats too. Catherine's Black Watch tartan scarf is elegant and I love that Charlotte's coat matches her mother's scarf. Sophie is beautiful in her blue coat and I love Louise's look--the winter white and pale mauve coat are very flattering to her. Zara is fabulous in aubergine--such a beautiful color and she looks wonderful in it. I love the Princess Royal's overall look and her hat is the best of everyone's. Beatrice looks wonderful--I'm so glad to see her here. Her headband is beautiful. Wish I could see more of Lady Sarah--her outfit is gorgeous! All the kids are growing up so much! The last photo of Charlotte is fabulous--such a beautiful smile!
ReplyDeleteJanet
Catherine looks lovely, as does Sophie, love this shade of blue. Zara looks wonderful as does the Princess Royal.
ReplyDeleteI’m partial to “Woofie”. He looks adorable with his dad and step mom.
ReplyDeleteEveryone looks very nice, also nice to see Pss Beatrice and husband and Bonus-son Wolfie. Nice to see her bump growing. Nice to see so many members being there to support the King and Queen.

Disappointed in many outfits there today. Beatrice does not suit the coat she was wearing. A straight line would have completed her shape at present. She does not look well, I hope all is okay with her. The Queen does not suit this shade of green or style, a belt ads weight to you. She is better in blues. Sophie looked so elegant her coat was amazing with the pleating at the back. Sarah Chatto looked wonderful in her outfit. Zara as usual gorgeous. Catherine looked very elegant., her smile out shone everything and everyone there. To see her and the King there was the best Christmas gift for all the family.
ReplyDeleteOne thing is for sure: Princess Kate is such a beautiful woman. I love this green on her and I love the length of the coat. I makes her look regal and elegant. She looks a bit tired but who is not in these Christmas times.
ReplyDeletePrincess Catherine should go easy on the dark eyeshadow. It does not benefit her make-up. She is looking good in her green too long coat, but if she likes it that way, it is she who must wear it after all. Princess Charlotte is looking good in her lovely coat. She is dressed according her age. That is what I like for little girls. Her brothers are dressed like their father, a bit too old. I suppose they cannot be dressed otherwise than formal to go to church.
ReplyDeleteSo happy to see Princess Catherine back and I hope we will see a lot more of her next year
ReplyDeleteOdd thing to wear a hat to church!
