The Wales family was out in full force on Christmas Day in Sandringham. The family must have decamped to Norfolk last week, as they skipped the pre-Christmas lunch at Windsor Castle on the 20th. By most accounts, the Middletons (or just Carole and Michael Middleton) joined the Wales family at Anmer Hall, although the Middletons were not included in the Christmas Day church walk.
The Princess of Wales chose a pretty good blue ensemble – a bright blue McQueen coat, with navy boots and what looks like a navy turtleneck dress (or separates) underneath. She accessorized with her sapphire-and-diamond suite, which once belonged to Diana. Prince William, Prince George and Prince Louis were also in shades of blue and navy, while Charlotte was allowed to stand out in an olive green coat. Also along for the ride: Mia Tindall, who seemed attached to her second-cousins Louis and George, plus Mia was helping Kate out with all of the flowers she got from well-wishers. Little Mia looks like part of the Wales family, and it was super-cute that they “let” her walk with her second-cousins. They’re also making a big deal about how Louis was allowed to wear long pants rather than shorts. Eh.
Meanwhile, King Charles and Camilla both wore sad beige. Charles’s coat is super-old and one of his favorites – he always wears that old thing. I feel like Camilla should have worn something a lot brighter and more Christmas-y. A hunter green coat would have worked well here.

The blue coat is the exact same coat she wore in Boston – except that one was green.
She could have worn the green one and match with Charlotte, but instead she needed a new blue coat, along the dozens she already has, to make sure she stands out in the pictures.
Considering the massive levels of poverty in the UK, it’s not the worst thing for Charles to rewear an old coat. But Kate doesn’t understand thrifty or humility and turns this into a fashion show.
And the hat looks awfully similar to a hat Meghan wore at the Christmas walk in 2018.
I was thinking that, too, for Charles & Cam–wearing an already-owned coat is a good thing, but did neither one have anything more festive in their closets? Nothing at all? Camilla looks like she’s wearing some old cotton housedress under her bland beige coat & Charles looks like he’s dressed for a day at the office.
As for Kate, well of course she got a brand new coat, identical to one she already owns. Gadzooks, this woman. This is her thing, her job as she views it–dress up in something new & make sure the kids look immaculate.
I read yesterday on one of those what kate wore instagrams that the coat is bespoke and so are the boots. Kkkate is spending that cash before the separation.
The coat IS bespoke- she has a green version of the same coat lol.
She also has a red similar one
I wonder how much bespoke coats like those cost. Must be nice!
Exactly! She owns different colors of the exact coat! But now this monochromatic theme is new to the entire Windsor women!
You are kidding aren’t you? The late Queen was famous for wearing bright monochromatic outfits – as a very short woman she said it helped her to stand out!
The Queen was also the monarch, something Kate will never be. The important person is first Charles and then William and then George. Never the married ins. But Kate acts otherwise.
What colour blue are we calling that? Racist Blue?
Holy Moses, compare the thumbnail pics on the main page between Kate’s face and Bea’s on the earlier post and the photoshop difference is insane.
I like Kate’s coat, but the only thing bothering me is those too broad shoulder pads.
I agree! Kate’s had an odd year with shoulder pads, too severe, too much.
The shoulder pads are always present due to her bad posture … it’s an effort to disguise this fact as well as her diminishing frame
That hat of Lazy Katie’s sure looks familiar. This woman is such a gaslighting, sandbaging bitch.

Yes. And the derangers were trying to say Kate has worn blue hats with feathers before. Not with that exact design she didn’t.
it’s true she’s worn it before. This is actually her second time copying Meghan’s blue hat she wore the last time she made an appearance at that minstrel show.. Kate’s truly so classless. No sense of her own identity. A grown azz 41-year-old woman making a career of cosplaying another woman. Behold their future queen.
Meghan’s hat has actual big feathers, Kate’s has what looks like arrows fletched with small feathers. I think Camilla’s hat looks more like Meghan’s.
Are you seriously kidding me Eurydice?? It is a copy of Meghan’s hat! Please show me a picture of her wearing something similar before Meghan did.
FYI to both: Kate wore a black version of this hat for St David’s Day earlier this year.
Yes, Beaniebean, I remember her wearing it once before, i’m not sure if that was the event, but I do recall there being no debate then that it was a copy of Meghan’s hat. Why are people trying to pretend otherwise now? Are they embarrassed for Kate?
The fascinator’s that Meghan wore never aged her like they do kate. Kate’s ugly fascinator make her look like a woman in her 60s.
When Meghan has to endure these events that required to wear one of these ugly ass hats, she still opted for a slick, minimalist and modern looking one. Kate’s ones are way too dated and have way too much fuss. They are more suited to camilla’s generation.
I didn’t say the Kate wore a hat like that before Meghan, I just said the the ornamentation is not the same. People are saying it’s an exact copy, but it isn’t – one is long graceful feathers and Kate’s is pointy and dangerous looking arrows And, to me, Camilla’s hat seems much more like the beige hat Meghan wore. I don’t imagine that Camilla is trying to copy Meghan.
@Girl_Ninja, Yes! Yes she is!
Same old thing . Parade the pure white family out to church boring.
Very drab and boring. Yawn.
Exactly this. And I always get the feeling, when this walk takes place, that the serfs are watching as royalty walks by. I dislike the walk so much.
On anther note, how often do the King and Queen attend church outside of Easter and Christmas?????
Yeah, I think this kind of thing is becoming more problematic with every passing year. It reeks of “we will allow the peasants to catch a glimpse of us as we parade in our designer clothes to church before returning to our mansion.”
It’s dated and classist.
AND the peasants give them flowers and gifts that they don’t want. It’s shocking how brainwashed people are.
Boring and kind of motheaten. Not their clothes so much, but the royals themselves – they look nibbled round the edges, like an old photograph. It’s funny – the actors on The Crown seem more royal than do these people.
Yes 👏👏👏and I don’t think that can be fixed, it’s too dated 😳
This is a perfect comment! You are so right. The actors all have “presence” and do seem more regal. How funny.
It’s a nice coat but she has loads of similar ones that could have been worn again. I don’t like the knitting needles on the hat. They take someone’s eye out if they get too close.
I’d be worried about my own eyes with that hat! I’m sure I’d managed to poke myself a time or two just trying to position on my head just so.
She looks so smug and the spin is how the tindall and wails are besties
Yeah, I saw a picture of Tindall with George… imagine having your son close to someone like him!! Good role model/s
Yes! I’m hopung we’ll get a separate post about the Tindall show at the church walk. The DM used his phony display to reinforce how Peg’s family doesn’t need Harry, they are better off with the Tindalls.
Cat got the cream!
Now that Kate has discovered the monochrome look, thanks to Meghan, it’s like the only thing she wears now.
This and suit pants . It’s like she doesn’t know working women can wear other things except that
An entire book could be written on how Meghan fundamentally changed Kate’s public persona. All of the sudden she became a hugger who wears monochrome and uses words like community. Kate colonized everything about Meghan while doing her best to bury her.
It’s infuriating, but super interesting, too. The initial response to H&M was that they would modernize the monarchy – and, in a way, they did that and continue to do it, even though they’re not in the RF anymore.
@Jais Yes, It’s pathetic how Kate copies every single thing Meghan does and is praised for it, but Meghan is hated for doing it first or doing anything at all. I wish so much that a psychologist would dig deep into the weird and obsessive behavior of Kate in regards to Meghan, the way they send the quack doctors after Meghan for every little thing. ” She held her pencil wrong,” this means she wants to bring down the Monarchy! “She hugged Harry,” this means she wants to bring down the Monarchy! Its lunacy!
Colonized! Yes, that’s exactly the word for it – Kate in particular has basically stolen so many visible traits, mannerisms, and styles associated with Meghan. Nevermind that when Meghan did any of them, they were viewed with scorn or opprobrium, but for Kate, they are to be celebrated! Classic appropriation. Thank you for this!
I’m really angry about this whole new Kate’s wardrobe and how she’s praised and taken credit for those modern looks!!! The woman didn’t the word “separates, trousers etc ” till Meghan came along!!! Even in my country, I see several articles repeating this narrative (that Kate modernized the monarchy with her changes in dressing)
I don’t know the country you live in, but that isn’t the takeaway around the world and social media. Magazines and a lot of people on SM and TV are commenting on how Kitty seems to morphed into Meghan! Lol
Everything I have read said that she’s morphing into her sister in law 😳Kate has no sense of self, even instagram fashionistas want their own identity 😳😳
Sorry, not sorry, to say I think it’s blatant racism. They (royals and their media partners) devoted all those many months to portraying Meghan as a royal rule breaker for her style, while simultaneously contrasting that with Kate being perfect because of hers, i.e., 40-button-coats. To see Kate now being praised for copying the very wardrobe castigated for violating royal protocol, is quite jarring, and additional proves Harry and Meghan’s point of unfair treatment. Lucky for Harry and Meghan, the world is their witness.
I’ve been saying this for a while now. I think she’s on a mission to saturate the record with enough photos to make folks believe it was she who originated the style In that family, not Meghan. Kate has the mindset of a sociopathic thief–robbing Meghan of her style in broad daylight and trying to convince the world that it’s all hers.
It won’t work outside of the UK, but that country has NK level style propaganda that will fool a great many people there. Plus many are racist and open to giving the white lady credit she doesn’t deserve.
No matter what she wears, to me Kkkhate will always be the Royal Racist, Princess Bigot, the asshole who hated on an unborn child based on what his sin tone might be.
I agree with you 100 percent.
What I don’t get is the mindset of the spectators who stand out in the cold to watch these people march past. And give them flowers and gifts. It’s mind boggling.
What’s hilarious is how they pretend they aren’t celebrities, but this walk is exactly the kind of thing celebrities do at movie premieres. Down to the waiting in line for hours and giving them gifts.
I believe most of them are people living in a nearby home for elders (hospice?) ..they are trotting them out each year!!
That makes a LOT of sense. Now that you mentioned it.
Elder abuse then.
It’s probably a condition of their residence, knowing this awful family.
I can’t tell, and I haven’t made a study of it, but they didn’t seem to have too many people watching them walk to & from church (or is it just from church?). What happens when nobody shows up? What then?
I thought royal protocol deemed that the married ins walk behind the heirs. Keen is noticeably walking ahead of Peg. Wasn’t this one of their major complaints about Meg? That she didn’t know her place? What gives?
Same old, same old double standard.
Why is poor Charlotte always dressed like a child out of another century? Or like her coat could have come from Christopher Robin’s closet? I hope eventually she can choose her own outfits because I’m sure her peers do not dress like that.
I bet she’d like a winter coat with functional pockets, too.
This whole charade just feels so antiquated to me now. Victorian, but not the good bits. It’s dreary.
She’d better be prepared to always be dresses like that, not to overshadow dear mummy. I have a daughter too, it is the purest pleasure to see her look her best, but Kate loves to make Charlotte look dull and like she’s wearing younger sister’s clothes. She’ll have a hard time accepting Charlotte as a pretty teen, or already has.
The children are always dressed up like they are in a production of a Dickens play, it’s not just Charlotte! At least they seemed to have gotten Louis out of those short pants, the poor child must have been freezing last year!
I dislike all her jewellery that complement Big Blue. The earrings are so gaudy.
I never knew there were women who couldn’t wear diamond jewelry until I saw Kitty and Sidepeace consort! The Queen, her sister, Diana, and Ann used to wear their jewelry beautifully.
Mind you it is the same jewelry somehow these two made it look like gaudy and unattractive! I wonder how that works!?
Both Kate and Camilla have an amazing ability to make the most beautiful jewelry look gaudy and cheap. With Kate, she doesn’t know when less is more. A simple pair of diamond studs, even diamond chips, would have worked perfectly with this outfit. But Kate thinks “I’m wearing blue, my ring is blue, I’ll wear big blue earrings!”
Maybe its because I’ve seen so many pictures/videos of the Swedish Royal family recently but the unhappiness of the Wales kids just jumped out at me. It’s pretty clear in all the photos/videos that those kids do not want to be there. They don’t even seem to enjoy meeting the fans and getting flowers/presents.
And they just had to sit through a church service, something they don’t do the other 364 days of the year. Oh, 363, forgot about Easter.
In one of the photos above both Charlotte and that Louis are actually scowling at either the public or the photographers.
Damn cheek.
Arrogance so early
@UNBLINKERED
Your comment says a lot about your character. To make such mean comments about children goes beyond the pale. I hope you do better in 2024.
Doesn’t the king and queen have courtiers to carry their umbrellas until they need them? Or do they really need canes to prop them up and they don’t want to be seen using canes?
I was thinking the same thing. I’ve noticed Charles a little wobbly here & there, maybe he needs the support, but an umbrella is heavier than a cane & he’d just be better off with a cane. Not sure about Camz. All I could think of was, there are lots of lovely old-fashioned umbrellas out there, can’t she get something nicer than that cheap plastic one? It doesn’t even roll up properly.
And as an aside, I’m quite a bit younger & use a cane, which helps me feel safe when I leave the house. It’s OK to use a cane, folks! And you can get a stylish one, too! I actually get compliments on my bamboo cane.
When I saw this picture on Twitter/X the hat took me back to Meghan’s look at Sandringham 2018. Kate’s jealousy and insecurites can’t take a day off for the holiday.
Good god just look at the arrogance of this lot, Kate keening on Megan, bully trying to out king Charlie and camzilla leaning on that brolly for dear life. But, in saying all that, when I see them on mass like this, all I can here is the theme tune to the Adams Family, “monsters on parade.
🤣🤣🤣
George has no coat.
Why is that? Everyone else is dressed for the weather but George is not even wearing a coat.
Some children don’t like wearing coats. I know with my niece, it was all we could do to keep her from running out in the snow barefoot.
Solid look – monochromatic outfits often are (as long as you chose a good color for your complexion, and blue agrees with Kate), it’s modern, slimming, and will elongate your build. If you’re short (like me), monochromatic looks are your friends. Why does that woman look so pleased with herself, though? Lazy, bigoted, snobbish, with literally not a single accomplishment attached to her name – that little stroll is her comfort zone: all look, zero substance, just wave, smile and look pretty.
The title is her accomplishment, in her mind anyway.
Am I the only one who noticed that Kate is the only one who has (multiple) pics looking directly at the camera? She really be feeling herself.
Photoshopped and filtered to death, too.
She wants people to talk about her online! Remember that 2 red coasts and still flashed her thighs! People don’t talk about her unless she does these antics!
Bunch of hypocrites
Making their visit to church look like a fashion parade especially Cathy ever so smug Look you peasants I am so beautiful
Skinny snooty bitch
Loves herself Kate, she always looks so stitled , poor George out in his suit yet again , no coat on him in Dec , Charlotte seems lovely but her coat is horrible ! I.see Louis has a new minder, new or PR move l.see !
Kate is not a royal, a duchess or a princess. She is a commoner, These are courtesy titles because of her husband. She certainly seems to take ownership of them, however, and is enjoying all the percs that come with them.
It’s nice to see Charlotte in a color other than blue. Although I wish all of the children were dressed in brighter and cheerier colors for the holidays.
The Wales and their consistent navy blues are drab and boring IMHO. It is possible to create a more interesting coordinating look. But I’ve noticed that Kate usually reserves the photo op / color pop for herself.
Chucky looks like the ghost of Christmas past.
What jumped out at me, clothing aside (I liked the color of the blue coat), was the physical proximity between William and Kate. You wouldn’t even think they’d met, based on those photos.
I Love Mia’s coat, but you know her brief was, “Do not take your hand off of his”
My god someone shot an arrow through the blue doughnut parked on top of Kate’s head.
I did not know that beignet season had opened already.
Maybe it’s where I was looking and because I saw less this year but I thought there was less emphasis on W and K. The photos in the press were more of the King and Queen and Andrews ex, Sarah Ferguson, who was there for the first time in 30 years. Also Princess Anne and her husband, Tim, had on matching scarves. A few of the other royals had the same scarf, presents from Charles.
I love Charles’s old clothes – the coat was 40 years old. Loved the way Camilla’s coat matched. She is there as a support to Charles by the way. Not to be a fashion plate. Thought the royals, especially Princess Anne, looked happy. By the way this is their second Church service of the day. The adults at any rate go to an earlier one where they take communion.
Not all the adults attended the earlier service. W and K weren’t seen with Charles went they went to the first service.
Charles does have more of a history of attending services. He’s not quite like his mother, but he attends way more than William ever does. And Kate getting her ass confirmed just before the wedding tells you how much she was going before.
They are going to have an issue with the heir and future head of the church barely attending at all.
Carolind, ditto l.thought the same thing, l actually watched the clip.of the Royals leaving Will and Kate never spoke not a word, he went to shake the vicars hand she went the opposite direction, l noticed he fixes his tie or coat a lot when he is nervous lol
Zara and her husband seemed a bit off with each other , seriously those fans waiting to.see the royals, on Christmas morning wtf , the royal see them.as peasants, , get a life and go home and cook your Turkey !
By de way did Cammie covert to been a Catholic when she married Andrew ?
No she did not convert though I think their kids were brought up RC. I also married a Catholic and kept my own religion although we had to go through a few loops. I am Church of Scotland by the way. In 1983 I had to sign a document to say any children of the marriage would be brought up RC. I signed in all good faith. Did not think we would have kids. Ten years later I had a daughter. Husband was a believer but not a practising Catholic. No way was I going to be responsible for bringing her up as RC. She was christened CofS and brought up that way. She is now atheist!!
Camilla supports herself. She got her relatives on the balcony and gets to run the show. For a non fashion plate Camilla has expensive clothes designed just for her and decks herself out in large tiaras as jewels . She also treated harry and Meghan horrendously.
The king goes to Church most weeks. Regularly photographed. If this comment does not suit the narrative on here it will be scrubbed though. Don’t know how I bother. Apart from w and k you don’t have a clue about the others.
Thank you Carolind,
Can you be so kind as to provide a links to these regularly photographed events?
There are 52 Sundays a year
I think the more pertinent question is:
Does the King ever go to church when he is not being paid to?
Google it, preferably onto UK sites and for goodness sake try and find out what he is really like. He has a very bad side but he is genuinely interested
and supportive of other cultures, religions etc. He is a workaholic working a lot until midnight. He has done a magnificent job with his Prince’s Trust. He is said to be a very, humorous charming man.
And if you are really questioning the religious part watch out for the UK New Year’s Honours being published in a few days and watch the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Church’s Head of the Anglican Church being honoured for personal services to the king.
No your right Carolind, KC does go to church most weeks , prob de only one that does, l believe he is quite spiritual ! William lve no idea, but these two.are Head of the Church of Eng so they should be going , although you would never think it the way they behave !
Charles is so not spiritual. Pulling security from his second son and his family
Kate and jewelry,
I know those are Dianas earrings and of course, Big Blue.
Big Blue and the Liz Taylor-Richard Burton ring are, IMO, the 2 most famous pieces of jewelry in pop culture in the past 50 years.
Kate has worn Big Blue for over 10+ years.
I still think that William should have given Kate an original wedding ring of her own.
Big Blue could have been fashioned into a pendant instead.
Big Blue will always be an iconic ring because it was in the engagement photo of Diana and Charles.
Diana, her huge blue eyes, her royal blue outfit, Big Blue and her shy smile.
Diana was such a fashion setter from day one.
Kate, even wearing Dianas jewelry, still seems to be “pretending” in her position.
She is just not naturally comfortable like Diana was.
Did tampon have his tongue out again.. WTAF is that about, he’s gross. As are the rest of them. Fergie getting lauded and flowers and gifts from the poor? I’m shocked how many turned up, but it shows the UK media (100% tabloid regardless what it’s called) does its job.
Kate looks stunning in that color and I like the jacket Camilla and Charles are wearing camel and it is a classic. People have been wearing feathers in their hats for eons. I don’t care for the little arrow feathers though. I think Meagan’s hat was prettier.
