From Town & Country

The royal family loves a holiday tradition. And every year on Christmas day, the Queen's close relatives take a public walk to church services at St Mary Magdalene.

This morning, the Duchess of Cambridge joined her husband Prince William and their two older children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte on the annual holiday stroll. (While George and Charlotte made their Christmas debut this year, little Prince Louis is still a little too young for the tradition.)

For the occasion, Kate was photographed wearing quite the festive look. She chose to wear a gray double-breasted coat with fur trim, which she accessorized with sheer black tights and green pumps. A circular green hat topped off her outfit.

The Cambridge family sometimes spends Christmas with the Middletons, but this year, the whole crew is in Sandringham. But Prince William's brother Harry is skipping the royal celebration this year.

The Sussexes are spending their first Christmas as a family of three with Meghan's mother Doria.

"The Duke and Duchess are looking forward to extended family time towards the end of this month," said a spokesperson for the couple last month. "Having spent the last two Christmases at Sandringham, their Royal Highnesses will spend the holidays this year, as a new family, with the Duchess' mother Doria Ragland."

The statement continued: "This decision is in line with precedent set previously by other members of the royal family, and has the support of Her Majesty the Queen."

After church, Kate and the rest of the Windsors will return home for a turkey lunch, and then around 3 p.m., they'll all watch the Queen's annual Christmas message together.
