In a heartwarming display of festive unity, Prince William and Kate Middleton, the Prince and Princess of Wales, continued a cherished royal Christmas tradition alongside their three children – Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. The family, adorned in coordinated blue and green outfits, attended the Christmas Day service at the Church of St. Mary Magdalene in Norfolk, marking the second consecutive year as a family of five.
Kate, radiant in a blue coat and hat accentuated by sapphire earrings, led the family ensemble, while William and George sported primarily blue attire. Charlotte donned a stylish green coat, echoing her mother’s previous year’s choice. Notably, Louis added a touch of flair with green and blue tartan pants, a departure from his customary shorts and knee socks.
The Cambridge family’s participation in this annual event is part of the larger royal Christmas routine. The festive celebrations include afternoon tea on Christmas Eve, the exchange of light-hearted gifts, attendance at the Christmas Day church service, greeting well-wishers, and a holiday lunch featuring turkey and traditional sides.
At 3 p.m., the family gathers to watch King Charles’ Christmas speech on TV, followed by an afternoon tea featuring an array of delectable desserts.
In addition to these longstanding traditions, Princess Kate has introduced a new holiday custom – an annual Christmas carol concert at Westminster Abbey. This family-oriented event, broadcast on Christmas Eve, saw Princess Kate accompanied by Prince William, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, with the support of other royals and members of the Middleton family.
The Cambridge family further shared a new portrait earlier this month as their Christmas card, showcasing a coordinated black-and-white snapshot captured by photographer Josh Shinner. Departing from their usual casual outdoor snaps, the photo featured the family in white button-down tops.
Adding to the festive surprises, Prince William and Princess Kate delighted fans on Christmas Day by sharing a new portrait of Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, captured during the same photoshoot as their 2023 Christmas card. The heartwarming black-and-white snapshot depicted the siblings seated on a bench, with Charlotte affectionately embracing her brothers. The royal couple’s commitment to tradition and family warmth continues to captivate and spread holiday cheer.
