See the best pictures from the British royal family Christmas celebration

Kate wowed the crowd in a brown check coat from Blaze Milano. It was a full circle moment for the Princess of Wales, who had donned the same coat during her first engagement of the years, when she announced she was in remission from cancer.

Despite reports that Princess Beatrice and her family would be skiing abroad with friends, she and husband Edo Mapelli Mozzi joined the extended royal family at Christmas. It was the second year in a row that Beatrice had chosen to attend the Sandringham festivities after her parents had their invite rescinded.

Princess Eugenie joined her big sister at Sandringham. Their parents, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson, were not invited over their links to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. It is believed that King Charles has been embracing his nieces and would like to see them remain unaffected by the drama surrounding their parents.

The reigning couple led the family on the walk to church. King Charles and Queen Camilla are hosting their family for several days worth of activities. The celebration kicked off on Christmas Eve when the Windsors enjoyed a six-course French Black Tie dinner. In line with their German heritage, the royal family exchange gifts on Christmas Eve. December 25 sees them gather again after church for a roast lunch. The King has twice the reason to celebrate, after recently announcing positive news about his cancer treatment.

Bundled up against the cold in a grey coat, Zara Tindall was likely thinking about the warmer weather in the Gold Coast. The daughter of Princess Anne is just days away from jetting Down Under with husband Mike for the Magic Millions carnival where she serves as patron.

Prince William and Princess Catherine’s children proved to be a big hit with the public. After wowing with her piano performance during Kate’s carols service, Princess Charlotte posed for selfies with the public. Following Prince George’s lead, Prince Louis happily shook hands with people in the crowd. The family is staying at their Norfolk Anmer Hall, before starting the New Year in their new Windsor property, Forest Lodge.

The Duchess of Edinburgh put in a chic appearance in a grey plaid coat. Sophie was given bunches of flowers by well-wishers outside of the church.

Just days after his 18th birthday, the Earl of Wessex joined his parents, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, for Christmas. Just like his older sister, Lady Louise, James has decided to forgo using his prince title as he is not expected to take on a working royal role.

Cheeky little Louis stole a bag of chocolates that a member of the public had gifted his father. The young princes antics always ensure he is a crowd favourite.
