Kate made her Christmas Day walkabout debut in 2011, just eight months after marrying Prince William. She was seen leaving St Mary Magdalene Church on the royal estate wearing a burgundy collarless coat dress with a dramatic berry-toned velvet hat by Jane Corbett.
The then-Duchess of Cambridge styled her ensemble with opaque black tights and platformed rounded-toe pumps - a style she hasn't worn in years.

Kate opted for a deep green moment courtesy of Sportsmax cinched with a snakeskin belt and teamed with a Lock & Co. hat. The royal also re-wore a pair of Kiki McDonough amethyst earrings that have been spotted on Christmas Day many times - a gift from her husband. 2015 was also the first year the mother of three wore her hair up for the Christmas Day walkabout.

2016
2016 was a special year for William and Kate as they brought their children to the church on Christmas Day for the first time - on this occasion, with the Middletons in their native Berkshire. The matriarch looked gorgeous in a chestnut brown fur-adorned coat from Hobbs with a pair of chunky pumps from Tod's.

2017
Kate wore her most eye-catching Christmas Day look in 2017 when she and William were joined by Prince Harry and his fiancee Meghan Markle for the first time. She wore a tartan peacock coat from Miu Miu with a fur hat and her shortest hair to date.

2018
It doesn't get more festive than a red moment and Kate nailed hers in 2018 with a Catherine Walker coat with a velvet Peter Pan collar coordinated with a halo-styled headband from Jane Taylor. We also loved the addition of berry-toned gloves to match her suede Gianvito Rossi pumps.

2019
Kate returned to a fur moment in 2019 as she opted for a dovetail grey wool coat dress by Catherine Walker jazzed up with forest green pumps and a clutch. It was a look that Kate admitted to regretting as the weather was unseasonably warm this year.

2022
For two years, the royal family skipped the Christmas Day walkabout as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. In 2022, the royal came back with a bang in elevated country chic. Kate chose a structured khaki Alexander McQueen coat dress styled with brown suede heeled boots and gloves.
Her unexpected Cezanne statement earrings and Philip Treacy feathered hat competed for the top spot as the crowning glory of this classically royal look.

Most recently, the future queen opted for an unexpected blue ensemble. Kate debuted a cerulean Alexander McQueen coat with a pair of Gianvito Rossi suede boots in the same hue and a Juliette Millinery fascinator.
Her jewels were a regal finishing touch as Kate wore a pair of diamond and blue sapphire earrings to match her engagement ring.
