Kate has a berry Christmas with the Royal Family

25/12/2018

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.
Embed from Getty Images
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.

 The design looks very similar to a black pair she first wore in February 2017 which remain unidentified.

Kate is pretty in pink for Queen's pre-Christmas luncheon

19/12/2018

0 Comments

 
The Cambridges gathered with extended Royal family members today for the Queen's annual pre-Christmas luncheon at Buckingham Palace. 
Embed from Getty Images
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.
Embed from Getty Images
Here's a closer look at Charlotte in the back seat.
Embed from Getty Images
Kate wore a sherbet pink pussy bow dress or blouse.
Embed from Getty Images
The details look very similar to her Stella McCartney dress which she wore to Prince Philip's private family birthday dinner in June 2011.

After comparing images, it appears that Kate did wear her 2011 @StellaMcCartney dress. The bow detail, neckline and sleeves all match. I think the color differences are due to the lighting of the photos. pic.twitter.com/UApIrAKSRb

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.

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.

— Rebecca English (@RE_DailyMail) December 4, 2018
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.
Embed from Getty Images
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!
Embed from Getty Images
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
Embed from Getty Images
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.
Picture
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.
Embed from Getty Images
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.
