Kate Middleton Brings Back an Old Favorite for Holiday Lunch at Buckingham Palace

While Kate Middleton has been enjoying more formal—regal, even—looks of late (see the dazzling Jenny Packham dress she wore at the Windsor Castle state banquet this month), it’s clear that she still likes to return to the old favorites in her wardrobe. At the weekend, for example, the Princess brought back out a plaid Holland Cooper coat for a private visit to the Ever After Garden at The Royal Marsden Hospital in London.

On Tuesday December 16, Kate was joined by Prince William and their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, for the lunch—with Charlotte coordinating with her mother in a velvet burgundy dress. Expect to see more matching—and perhaps recycled—outfits as the Waleses join King Charles and Queen Camilla at Sandringham on Christmas Day.
