We're not sure if the British royal family spends Christmas morning in pajamas, but they definitely clean up nicely for their traditional appearance at mass for the holiday. The late Princess Diana followed by Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle in recent years have always dressed impeccably for holiday-related events, so we 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 the 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. 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 our favorite royal holiday looks over the years.

Erin Fitzpatrick
Senior News Editor

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 12 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of senior news editor (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
