The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge celebrated Christmas with the Royal Family at Sandringham and started their day by attending the traditional Christmas service at St. Mary Magadelene's Church on the Queen's estate.
The couple joined the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and other members of the royal family for the traditional walk to the church.
Kate looked rather festive once again for this year’s service wearing a berry red custom coat by Catherine Walker.
The design elements of the coat are similar to the forest green coat she owns from the label, including the double-breasted front, contrast velvet collar, cuffs and flap pockets. Besides the colour, the only notable difference is the longer length.
The Duchess wore a new custom headpiece from Jane Taylor. It is the burgundy 'Halo Band' (£830) with a contrasting bow at the back. The vintage inspired headband is from the milliners A/W 218 collection.
Kate coordinated the ensemble with her cranberry Mulberry 'Bayswater' Suede Clutch and Gianvito Rossi 'Gianvito 105' Royale Burgundy Suede.
Kate wore her Asprey Oak Leaf Small Hoop Earrings.
She complemented the earrings with her oak leaf acorn brooch.
Kate wore new pair of burgundy gloves with a bow detail.
The design looks very similar to a black pair she first wore in February 2017 which remain unidentified.

The Cambridges gathered with extended Royal family members today for the Queen's annual pre-Christmas luncheon at Buckingham Palace.
The Duchess of Cambridge along with her royal tots, Prince George and Princess Charlotte were spotted en route to the Palace with Prince William behind the wheel and Nanny Maria in the back with the kids.
Here's a closer look at Charlotte in the back seat.
Kate wore a sherbet pink pussy bow dress or blouse.
The details look very similar to her Stella McCartney dress which she wore to Prince Philip's private family birthday dinner in June 2011.
Many don't think it is the same dress because the material looks different. The original dress has a distinct sheen whereas this one appears matte.
The Duchess choose to accessorize with her In2Design Baroque Pearl Drop Earrings.

Kensington Palace released a new family portrait of the Cambridge clan this morning to mark the festive season. The photograph, taken by Matt Porteous, shows The Duke and Duchess with their three children at Anmer Hall, and features on the Cambridge family Christmas card this year.

The Duchess was casually dressed in her forest green Fjallraven Övik Re-Wool Sweater with light blue check shirt, blue jeans, and her Asprey London Oak Leaf Small Hoop Earrings.
I will update the post if the remaining pieces are identified.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge had two engagements in London today.
They first visited Evelina London Children's Hospital to hear from staff and parents about the hospital's life changing care and support. This morning, Kensington Palace announced that The Duchess has become Patron of the hospital.
Later in the afternoon, Kate and William joined The Passage Charity, a Resource Centre for homeless people, for an arts and crafts workshop to prepare cards and gifts ahead of centre’s Christmas party next week.
Kate stepped out in the LK Bennett Mortimer Green Polka Dot Silk Dress (£325) - a new addition to her closet.
Designed in a green and cream patterned silk, the 'Mortimer' dress has a fitted waist to help shape an hourglass silhouette, while the pussy-bow detail adds a feminine touch to this button-down design.
She teamed it with her LK Bennett 'Dora' Khaki Suede Clutch and Gianvito Rossi 'Gianvito' 85 dark olive suede pumps (US$675) which she debuted last week in Cyprus.
The dark olive pointed-toe pumps are also available in a shorter 70 mm heel at My Theresa, and higher 105 mm heel at Budapester.
The Duchess finished the ensemble with her Annoushka Pearl and Kiki Diamond Hoop Earrings.

This evening the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge attended the Diplomatic Reception hosted by The Queen at Buckingham Palace.
The annual white-tie soirée is one of the most formal events on the royal calendar. Over 1,000 people from around 130 countries, including members of the British government and past Prime Ministers attend the gathering.
It is a private function and the public usually only gets a glimpse as guests arrive at the Palace, but this year the Palace released a handful of photos. It's a real treat and hopefully the start of a new tradition!
Kate looked every inch the princess in a new Jenny Packham gown. The ice hued dress is fashioned with a cowl neckline which extends to flutter sleeves and the draping continues around to the back. It is adorned with glittering beads
The Duchess donned her 'go-to' tiara - the Queen Mary Lover's Knot tiara. It was once the signature diadem of the late Princess of Wales.
The Duchess paired the tiara with Princess Diana's Collingwood diamond and pearl drop earrings, and pinned to her dress was a Royal Family Order of Queen Elizabeth II which she was awarded in 2017.
In addition to the tiara, Kate also loaned the Queen Mary Chain-Link bracelet which she has worn on a few previous occasions. The piece was originally a choker that belonged to Mary of Teck, Queen Consort of George V. It was later converted to a bracelet by the late Queen Mother.
Kate carried her Jenny Packham 'Casa' crystal clutch.
