Kate wraps up in Zara cape for Queen's pre-Christmas luncheon

The Cambridges' gathered with extended Royal family members today for the Queen's annual pre-Christmas luncheon at Buckingham Palace. 

The lunch was a private family affair but photographers managed to get some snaps of the guests as they entered the gates of the Palace including Prince Harry and fiancée Meghan Markle.

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.

It appears Kate wore the Zara Long Cloth Cape (US$149) as suggested by LadyParky on Twitter.

The Duchess teamed it with a black faux-fur collar. Kate M Cambridge suggested on Twitter that could be the Jigsaw ‘Faux Fur Tippet,’ however the piece is no longer available.

Kate wore a plum dress or top under the cape. It's most likely her Goat 'Eloise' Plum Tunic Dress which she recently debuted at the Place2Be School Leaders Forum last month.

Kate wore a familiar pair of statement chandelier earrings. The costume earrings date back to 2007 and she has worn them on a handful of occasions including the 2014 Christmas luncheon and during the 2016 royal tour of India.

We will see Kate again on Christmas Day when she joins Prince William and the extended royal family for a traditional church service at St.  Mary Magadelene's Church on the Queen's Sandringham estate.
