Royal Christmas festivities are officially in full swing.

Kate Middleton—alongside her husband Prince William and their three kids—stepped out this morning to attend the Queen’s annual Christmas lunch at Buckingham Palace.

Photographers snapped images of the Duchess of Cambridge in a festive, tartan dress, reportedly from Emilia Wickstead, for the occasion. Her long sleeves and crisp white collar were visible as she sat in the car with Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. (Prince William and Prince George arrived separately.) The duchess recently wore another Wickstead design during the recent BBC special A Berry Royal Christmas while in conversation with host, Mary Berry.

The annual Christmas lunch with the queen is a holiday mainstay on the royal family calendar. Aside from Prince William and Duchess Kate, other extended members of the family such as Princess Beatrice, Zara Tindall, and Prince Andrew were seen driving through the palace gates this morning. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, will notably not be in attendance today since they are spending the remainder of their break from royal duties abroad in the United States.

On Christmas Day, William and Kate are set to be joined by their eldest children, George and Charlotte, for the annual morning march to church alongside the Queen. It will be the two children’s first time taking part in the royal tradition.
