Four senior female members of the Royal Family made a sartorial statement this Christmas Day, demonstrating a shared affinity for classic, checked outerwear. The Princess of Wales, the Duchess of Edinburgh, Princess Beatrice, and Princess Eugenie each stepped out in distinctive yet timeless patterned coats, offering a masterclass in elegant winter dressing.
The Princess of Wales's Effortless Polish
The Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, looked effortlessly polished in a custom-made Blazé Milano coat. She first debuted this elegant piece on Christmas Day in 2021 and has revisited it on several occasions since, proving its status as a versatile wardrobe staple. The design, inspired by the brand's Lahloo Anyway blazer, is crafted from checked wool and features a sophisticated double-breasted front with a flattering longline cut.
Sophie, Beatrice and Eugenie's Chic Choices
Meanwhile, the Duchess of Edinburgh, Sophie, opted for a refined wrap-style coat from her trusted label, Suzannah London. Princess Beatrice selected a chic checked trench coat by the LA-based brand Cara Cara. Princess Eugenie made a bold statement in a multicoloured, caped checked design from the brand Byan.
