The British Royal Family was out in force on Christmas Day, snugly-coated and fabulously-hatted for Christmas services at Sandringham in Norfolk. It was Catherine Duchess of Cambridge's first Christmas as a member of the Royal Family and she seems to have been seamlessly incorporated into the day's royal duties.
Princess Catherine looked especially festive in a burgundy coat and wine red velvet hat. She appeared quite happy as she mingled with her countrymen and accepted a few bouquets of flowers from some very young admirers. Queen Elizabeth received several flowers (tulips, it looks like) of her own! In addition to Kate and the Queen, Prince William, Princess Beatrice, Princess Eugenie, Prince Harry, Prince Andrew, Prince Charles, and Camilla Duchess of Cornwall were along for the outing and full of cheer as well!
The whole group appears to have brought a change of clothing for any post-service activities. Kate's, naturally, involved a stylish gray tailored coat and tall black boots.
