Meghan, Kate, and Diana's 9 Best Christmas Outfits of All Time
I'm not sure if the British royal family spends Christmas morning in their pajamas like the rest of us, but they definitely clean up nicely for their traditional appearance at mass for the holiday. The late Princess Diana always dressed impeccably for holiday-related events, just like Kate, the Princess of Wales, and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex (particularly while she was living in London). So I decided to take a walk down memory lane and revisit their best festive outfits.
Of course, the main holiday event for the British royals is attending mass on Christmas Day while visiting their Sandringham House country estate in Norfolk. They walk past hundreds of fans on their way to the church, so they often go all-out with their outfits. Kate Middleton, in particular, is a fan of literal holiday looks, so she's worn a lot of red, green, and plaid. Scroll down to revisit my favorite royal holiday outfits over the years.
