Expert Insight on Recreating the Look
Speaking to HELLO!, fashion expert and luxury stylist Constance Richardson praised the ensemble, saying: “The Princess of Wales delivered a beautifully polished festive look, pairing her deep green Catherine Walker coat with a crystal-embellished Miu Miu tartan skirt that gives the traditional check a subtle, modern sparkle.”
She also offered advice for recreating the style on a budget: “Start with a simple tartan or pleated midi, which can be easy to find on the high street at this time of year, and add sew-on crystals or heat-fix gems along the pleats or waistband for that same light-catching finish.”
Another Festive Moment at Buckingham Palace
The Princess continued her stylish run at the royal pre-Christmas lunch hosted by King Charles at Buckingham Palace. For the occasion, she chose a red satin bow dress by Alessandra Rich from the designer’s Autumn/Winter ’19 collection, featuring a playful white print that added to its joyful, festive charm.
Together, her Christmas appearances this year reinforced her status as a modern royal style icon—balancing tradition, symbolism, and elegance, while subtly paving the way for the next generation.
