The Wales family celebrated Christmas with the Royal Family at Sandringham and started their day by attending the traditional service at St. Mary Magadelene's Church.
It is the first Christmas King Charles III has hosted the Royal Family’s traditional gathering at the Norfolk estate since the death of his mother, Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
In another first, Prince Louis joined his parents and older siblings for the walk to the church on the King's estate.
Following the yuletide service, the royals chatted with well-wishers who had gathered outside the church to catch a glimpse of the royal family.
The Princes of Wales rugged up in her green Alexander McQueen coat. It's a bespoke piece she has worn on a few occasions since she debuted it in January 2020 for an away-day in Bradford.
Beneath the coat, Kate appeared to have on the Mango 'Flurry' Ribbed Knit Midi Dress that was first worn in November.
Kate coordinated the look with a new custom hat by Philip Treacy. The broad-brimmed design is similar to a style seen in the milliner's AW 20 collection.
She also accessorized with new earrings. They are the Sezane 'Dina' Earrings in Ocean Blue ($130).
On her feet were her custom brown suede Gianvito Rossi Block Heel Boots.
The princess wore dark brown leather gloves and carried her Stuart Weitzman 'Muse' clutch in chocolate brown suede.
The gloves appear to date back to at least 2011 when Kate wore them for her first official royal engagement in Anglesey.
Middleton Maven suggests the 'Evelyn' style by Dents (£95).

The Princess looked glamorous as she stepped out on the green carpet in a rented Solace London 'Sabina' dress.
It was reportedly hired from HURR in London starting from £74. The 'Sabina' is a floor length modern gown featuring an off-the-shoulder neckline and a body-conscious fit.
Kate complemented the bright green gown with emerald jewelry.
For the first time, she wore Queen Mary's Art Deco Emerald & Diamond Choker.
The choker was created for Queen Mary in the Art Deco style by Garrard in 1921 from a gift of emeralds from the Ladies of India in 1911.
It coordinates with the larger heirloom Cambridge Emerald Parure, with which it was often paired.
The necklace was inherited by Queen Elizabeth II in 1953 but she did not prefer the shortened style. She passed it along to Diana, Princess of Wales as a wedding gift, and it become one of Diana's signature pieces of jewelry.
On one occasion she got creative and wore the necklace as a bandeau. Upon Diana’s death in 1997 the necklace was returned to the Queen.
Tonight, the current Princess of Wales coordinated it with a new pair of emerald earrings.
They are the Asprey London Emerald and Diamond Halo Earrings mounted in platinum ($11,375).
Kate completed the look with her Cinderella-inspired Gianvito Rossi 'Rania 105' Pumps.
