The Princess of Wales chose a red and black ensemble as she and Prince William marked St. David's Day at the Welsh Guards. This was the Prince's first visit with the Guards since he was named Colonel of the Regiment, a role previously filled by his father. Today's ceremony was at Combermere Barracks in Windsor. As is tradition, leeks were handed out. Below, the Prince with a member of the 5th Royal Australian Regiment. That Regiment is in the UK helping to train Ukrainian troops. More from the BBC's coverage. Major Gregory Sergeant, from the Royal Australian regiment, was presented with a leek by the Prince of Wales. He said William asked me how the trip is going for me and added: It was humbling, I have never met a royal before. The Princess as she received her leek. Forces News reports, Welsh Guards Captain Michael Parry presented the Princess of Wales with her very own leek before miniature handmade leeks were given to the watching families on the parade ground. More about the leek as a Welsh symbol from the Welsh government. Before there was the daffodil, there was the humble leek. This root vegetable is so well established as part of Welsh culture that wearing a leek to signify you come from Wales is noted as an ‘ancient tradition’ in William Shakespeare’s Henry V, first performed in the 16th century. Legends claim that the 7th century king of Gwynedd, Cadwaladr, ordered his men to strap a leek to their armour to help easily distinguish them from the enemy in the heat of battle, a tale that perhaps inspired the Tudor royal household (who were of Welsh origin) to instruct their guards to wear leeks on St David’s Day, cementing the practice. The Princess then distributed leeks to others at the ceremony. Thoughts on the day's significance via the Guards' Facebook page. As we celebrated this special day, it's worth taking a moment to reflect on why St David's Day is so important to the people of Wales. St David, or Dewi Sant in Welsh, is the patron Saint of Wales and his day is celebrated annually on March 1st. The tradition of celebrating St David's Day goes back many centuries, and it's an important day for the people of Wales to celebrate their Welsh heritage and culture. The Princess was presented with flowers by Elis-Haf Cunningham, whose father serves in the Guards. The 7-year-old was in traditional Welsh dress. More from Rebecca English's MailPlus piece. Her mother Krystal Cunningham, 59, said her daughter would remember the moment for the rest of her life. ‘It was a very proud moment,’ she added. ‘She absolutely loves the Royal Family but has only ever seen Kate on TV. It was a big moment for her.’ One of today's funny faces from the Princess. The Prince of Wales delivered remarks at today's event. From his remarks. I am both honoured and delighted to be standing here in front of you today as your new Colonel. At the same time, I’m sorry that my father couldn’t be here with us here today to say farewell, but I know he would talk of his fierce pride and admiration for you all, and of his own sadness to be moving on from an appointment he held so dear since 1975 Then it was time to get set for an official photo. One of the group images. This was followed by a reception. On its Facebook page, the Regiment wrote: Both The Prince and Princess of Wales took the time to speak with Guardsmen and their families, making it a truly memorable day for all involved. One of the day's highlights: the Princess watching 9-year-old Thomas Lucas as he does a backflip. More from Rebecca English's Daily Mail piece. She asked his parents ‘who he gets his back-flipping talents from’ and Thomas responded that he had taught himself. Kate – who had referred to it as dancing - said ‘not dancing sorry - I need to learn all this lingo I’m not very good at it’. Speaking after the parade, Thomas’ father, Sergeant Gareth Lucas, joked that it was typical behaviour for his son, calling him ‘non-stop’. Ms. English shared a video of the youngster Thomas Lucas stole the show today as he backflipped not once but twice in front of the Princess of Wales. The nine-year-old has been teaching himself from @YouTube tutorials as he has become obsessed by parkour. Kate said she was ‘super impressed’ pic.twitter.com/NbOwlIpon3 — Rebecca English (@RE_DailyMail) March 1, 2023 The Princess gave Thomas a hand. We return to the Daily Mail article. The nine-year-old said it was ‘actually quite nerve-wracking because I didn’t really land it,’ but added that the Princess was ‘impressed’. He then demonstrated it again, as the princess stood behind him, for the benefit of the cameras. There was also music today. From Simon Perry's People story. Before the soldiers were dismissed, the band led a rendition of the Welsh national anthem — which Princess Kate sung in Welsh — followed by God Save The King followed by a hearty three cheers for the Prince and Princess of Wales. Now we look at what Kate wore for today's engagement. The Princess chose a vibrant red coat by Alexander McQueen. The Slim Fit Wool Coat features a double-breasted design with padded shoulders, peak lapels, flap pockets at the hip and a chest welt pocket. The off-the-rack version of the coat has an asymmetrical hem, a feature eliminated in the Princess's coat. You get a sense of the fullness in the skirt in this photo as the Princess is seated. The off-the-rack design is available in limited sizes at Cettire ($2513), as well as My Theresa ($4590), and Farfetch ($4590). In looking at glimpses of the dress worn beneath the coat, Middleton Maven suggests the Ghost Rose Midi Dress (£149) as a possibility. We won't know until we see the dress worn without the coat, but the Ghost design is a good call. It has the same banding at the wrist with a keyhole opening, a full skirt, and the color looks like a good match. UPDATE JUNE 24 2023: It looks like this could have been an Alexander McQueen dress worn by the Princess of Wales for Royal Ascot in June. (Photo below.) The Princess wore her hair in an elaborate updo. She accessorized with a hat by milliner Juliette Botterill (£570, about $685 at today's exchange rates) crafted in peachbloom felt; a high-end material milliners use that has a soft, velvet-like feel. The style is trimmed with a bow and two arrow feathers. If you are in the UK, the hat can be rented via the Cotswold Hat Club, with thanks to Caroline for that tip. Thank you to UFO No More for this ID. We saw the return of the Mulberry Amberley Crossbody Bag carried yesterday in Wales. And the Gianvito Rossi boots. The Princess wore gloves by Serbian designer Evica Milovanov Penezić. Some recognized them right away, although their most notable outing was more than seventeen years ago when they were worn for Prince William's 2006 passing out parade at Sandhurst Military Academy. We learn more about the glovemaker from a 2012 Woman with Drive piece. Evica’s big breakthrough came in December 2006 when a pair of her gloves were worn by Kate Middleton at Prince William’s passing-out parade at Sandhurst. Evica practically reinvented the ancient craft of glove-making using traditional techniques. Skilled craftswomen work individually, cutting each pair of Evica gloves from a single piece of leather and stitching them by hand. The process is so meticulous and Evica has such attention to detail, she uses a magnifying glass to ensure quality control. Here are a few examples of other work by the glove designer and artist via the Evica Gloves Facebook page. The Princess wore a leek brooch today. It is similar to a brooch worn by the late Queen and another won by the Queen Consort. In this montage, you can see the way the brooch reflects the Regiment's cap badge. The Princess brought back her Daisy Heritage Earrings by Asprey that were first seen during the 2020 Ireland visit. There are reports the Prince and Princess will meet with Norway's Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit tomorrow. The couple is in London for a three-day visit. VIDEO: This Evening Standard video runs about one-minute. The Royal Family Channel has almost four minutes of coverage in this video.
Merry Christmas to all those celebrating today! We have two outfits to cover in this post: the ensemble worn for church today and the look seen in a video the Princess taped as part of the Christmas carol concert that aired last night. We'll begin with the outfit worn for the Christmas Day church service at Sandringham. The King and Queen led a full complement of royal family members to St. Mary Magdalene Church. From The Telegraph's coverage. The King and Queen led the way smiling at more than 2,000 wellwishers who had gathered to watch the traditional procession of royals to church, with many waiting hours to get a prime spot. For much of the walk, Prince Louis held hands with Mia Tindall. A closer look at the pair.

Royal enthusiasts lined the route to the church to catch a glimpse of the family during their traditional Christmas morning - some from as far afield as Washington DC, USA. For ardent fans of the royal family, Sandringham is the place to be on Christmas Day. Hundreds wake up early and queue outside the church gates for a chance to see senior royals up close and personal. Princess Anne and her husband, Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence.

It has been decades since the Duchess of York made the walk from Sandringham House to St Mary Magdalene Church with royals - normally reserved for close family - but in recent years it is thought she has been a guest for Christmas lunch. She has won plaudits in recent months for her battle with breast cancer, praised for speaking openly about her treatment and setting an example for other women to get screened.

I believe the gentleman on the far right is Major Lt. Colonel Johnny Thompson, the King's equerry. (Thank you to Sue for letting me know he was no longer a major!) The Chatto boys, Arthur and Samuel, and their mother, Lady Sarah Chatto, Princess Margaret's daughter. Also present, but not shown in this photo, is Lady Sarah's husband, Daniel Chatto.

The Prince and Princess of Wales were handed flowers and their three children were given personalised wooden moneyboxes by royal fan Gemma Clark, 43. Ms Clark gives the royal children presents each Christmas - and last year handed the young Waleses novelty toys known as “gonks”. She said: “The children were very sweet and said thank you and Happy Christmas. They always seem to like my presents.” The Princess of Wales was heard asking her youngest son what the wooden gift was. “It’s a money box,” said Prince Louis. “Oh that’s so cool, isn’t it,” his mother replied. The Duchess of Edinburgh and her daughter.

Micki's theory is that the King may have given the scarf as a Christmas gift to family members, which makes sense. Milliner Jane Taylor posted on Instagram that Lady Louise wore her trilby in midnight luxury felt with gunmetal crystal trim. Princess Charlotte was in a coat by Friki, a Spanish brand, the English Coat ($229) in dark olive green. Thank you to Found by Bojana for this ID.

She also had on her Manuela de Juan Mimi Mary Janes (€128, about $140) in black patent leather. It looked like Prince Louis wore the same tartan trousers his big brother wore in a Dec 2019 video and photo shoot, along with his Trotters Heritage Pea Coat. Now for our look at what Kate wore, featuring a few designs you have seen before but in different colors. If the coat looked familiar, it is with good reason: the Princess wore it in green for welcome ceremonies in Boston last November. It is a bespoke Alexander McQueen piece in a structured style with notched lapels, flap pockets, an inset waistband with buttons, sleeve bands, and a back vent. The Princess accessorized with Juliette Botterill's Bow and Arrow Percher hat (£600, roughly $760 at today's exchange rates) crafted in peachbloom felt and trimmed with a bow and two arrow feathers. It is available in a variety of colors and is worn on a slim headband and hat elastic in your choice of hair colour. The Princess wore this style in black when celebrating St. David's Day with the Welsh Guards (below right). The Princess brought back the custom Gianvito Rossi boots first noted last December at a Westminster Abbey tree planting. The style closest in design to the Princess's boots is the Glen ($1017, 40% off), but it has a rounded toe, not a point-toe style like the pairs made for the Princess. It looks like the Princess carried her Natasha Clutch in Lake ($440) by go-to brand Emmy London. The Princess wore the diamond and sapphire cabochon cluster earrings that belonged to Diana, Princess of Wales. Thank you to the House of Windsor and Sarah's Secret for their ID work today. Here is a look at the Princess's previous Christmas ensembles. In 2013, we saw two ensembles because the Duchess of Cambridge attended both morning services at St. Mary Magdalene. In 2020, there were no services because of the pandemic, and in 2021, the Cambridge family attended services at Sandringham, but there were limited photos of the family as they drove to church. Also today, a new photo of the Wales children was released on the Kensington Palace social media accounts with this message. The photo was shot by Josh Shinner, who also took the image used for the family's Christmas cards. Next, the cheery red ensemble worn by the Princess for a Christmas tea taped earlier in the month for inclusion in last night's Royal Carols: Together At Christmas on ITV. More from The Standard's article. The video shows Kate feature as part of a surprise Christmas tea party to celebrate the contribution people are making in shaping future generations. In the footage, the princess asks Rico: “Seeing and building this relationship with Mr Gray, has it helped you with your own relationships with your friends?” A video has been released showing Kate meeting 13-year-old Rico and Russell Gray, 70, and discussing how Mr. Gray has helped by building Rico’s confidence and allowing him to pursue his passion in football in Manchester. Rico replied: “It’s like, brought trust because if you can trust one person then you trust more people.” Below, Rico, the Princess, and Mr. Gray. And from The Daily Mail's coverage. The special was filmed last month in London, and Kate Middleton spent time hearing how those around the table had helped to inspire young people; they were accompanied by five children whose lives had been helped by positive mentors....guests at the gathering are seen looking wide-eyed with shock as Kate, 41, quietly enters the room through a side door. Below, the Princess with Brenda Ford, and 11-year-old Poppy. Ms. Ford is a retired mental health nurse from Sussex who volunteers in local schools, helping children develop new skills through their intergenerational program. Here is a clip of the video. We return to The Daily Mail's piece. The Princess also met brothers George and Henry Barnard, aged 12 and 10, who have benefited from musical therapy at East Anglia Children's Hospice, where Kate is Patron. The royal spoke to the brothers for fifteen minutes about their love of music, sharing that Prince George enjoys the guitar, Princess Charlotte loves singing, and Prince Louis is a fan of the drums. The Princess then gave the boys 'beautifully wrapped presents', which they are saving for Christmas Day. Here, you see George and Henry Barnard on the right, with Ray Travasso (far left), a music therapist at East Anglia's Children's Hospices. Mr. Travasso provided music therapy to Henry and his family after Henry was diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy when he was 18 months old. The Princess brought back the Miu Miu Cashmere Jacquard Cotton-Trim Cardigan (£1350, no longer available) worn for a shoot promoting the 2021 carol concert (shown below). The jacquard-woven cardigan features white and black roses in a diamond pattern. It has domed buttons covered in faux pearls, a detachable cotton collar, and cotton cuffs. A closer look at the details. The Princess paired the sweater with coordinating red trousers that could be the Alexander McQueen Leaf Crepe Slim Bootcut Pants ($890) worn for the Shaping Us campaign launch in January. She also repeated her Cassandra Goad Cavolfiore Pearl Stud Earrings (£5430, about $6900 at today's exchange rates. They are shown here when worn on another occasion. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ One other item of note today comes via a story by Rebecca English in The Daily Mail. The Prince and Princess of Wales will make a high-profile visit to Rome in the spring as part of a European charm offensive. It will be Kate’s first working trip abroad in over a year, and the couple’s first to Italy. While Kensington Palace has not officially announced the trip, the Mail can reveal talks are under way at the highest level and a date has been ‘pencilled in’. I'll keep an eye out for more details on the trip. VIDEOS: The Wales family greeting well-wishers after the service.
