The Princess of Wales was the epitome of elegance on Christmas Day 2024, as the British Royal Family attended the Christmas Morning Service at Sandringham Church
Princess Kate, her husband Prince William and their three children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, joined the likes of King Charles III, Queen Camilla, Zara and Mike Tindall and Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi (who changed their Christmas plans last minute) for the annual celebrations.
Whilst the 42-year-old's outfit was as effortlessly elegant and fashion-forward as always, her accessories arsenal was complete with stylish pieces that had a hidden meaning, including her jaw-dropping statement earrings.
Kate paired her structured emerald green-based outfit with the dazzling 'Daystar Blue Topaz Earrings' from British Fine Jewellery label Robinson Pelham, retailing on the brand's website at £5,995.

In September, the family released a video message via Kensington Palace, explaining that she had finished her chemotherapy and explained she is focused on staying "cancer-free" and gradually returning to work.
Gemporia also explains that the pale gemstone symbolises good fortune and love. "Wearing Topaz has been said to help stabilise one's emotions and calm one's nerves."

"In many ways, Kate's decision to incorporate this tartan into her Christmas Day outfit was deeply symbolic," explained H! Fashion's editor Natalie Salmon, "The Black Watch’s historical ties to bravery and resilience mirrored her own personal journey."
