Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, was pictured arriving at Buckingham Palace for the annual Christmas lunch hosted by the Queen in a separate car to husband, Prince William and their son, Prince George. Although Christmas isn’t until next week, the Royal Family’s holiday celebrations are already underway.
The mother-of-three was pictured arriving into the royal estate in a tartan Emilia Wickstead dress which retails for $1325 (£1013.11).
The dress is pleated red tartan and has a stiff white point collar which gives the Emilia Wickstead’s chiffon-crepe Anni dress a nostalgic feel.
The runway piece is described to be “crafted with semi-sheer silk blouson sleeves that gather at white button-up cuffs,” and the images show that the dress cinches at the waist with a matching belt for a flattering feminine silhouette.
Kate decided to keep her accessories minimal, only opting to wear her huge engagement ring on her left hand and she chose to wear a simple pair of earrings.

The 37-year-old Duchess and future Queen opted for her brown locks to be styled in her signature Kensington blow-out look, with the curls hanging loosely around her shoulders to frame her face.
The Duchess of Cambridge was accompanied by Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis on the long drive to Buckingham Palace, who were also dressed in festive wear.
Both Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis were pictured wearing Christmas jumpers.
Today’s lunch is one of the highlights of the Royal Family’s holiday calendar.
DON’T MISS
Not only are William and Kate typically in attendance (along with their children, now that they’re old enough), but extended members of the Queen’s family are also included.
Numerous other royals were spotted driving into Buckingham Palace today, including Prince Andrew, Princess Beatrice, and Zara Tindall.
Notably, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are missing the event. As previously announced, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are marking their first Christmas as a family of three with Meghan’s mother Doria Ragland.
Harry and Meghan are currently on an extended break from their royal duties and are expected to return to work in 2020.

Earlier this week, the Cambridges’ teamed up with baking legend, Merry Berry, on A Berry Royal Christmas.
While on the show, Kate shared an adorable detail about the start of her relationship with Prince William. Kate also opened up about the activities her children like to do in their spare time.
Speaking to Mary on the show, Kate revealed one of the sweet ways William tried to win her over in the beginning.
The Duchess said: “He’s very good at breakfast. In our university days, he used to cook me all sorts of meals. I think that was when he was trying to impress me.”
During the show, she also spoke about her children and gave a glimpse into what they like to do when at home.
Mary asked Kate if cooking was something she would do at home with her children.
“Yes, I really enjoy it,” Kate explained. “For them to be creative and for them to try and be as independent as possible with it.
“Actually one for the last things we cooked together was your pizza dough recipe. We made pizzas with your pizza dough recipe.”
How did Kate Middleton become a royal?
Early life
Kate Middleton, or Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, was born on 9 January 1982 at the Royal Berkshire Hospital, Reading, England.
She was born to Michael and Carole Middleton, a former flight dispatcher and air hostess. The couple founded a party supplies company, Party Pieces, in 1987 – now estimated to be worth £30 million. Kate has a younger sister Pippa Matthews, 36, and a younger brother James Middleton, 32.
Education
Kate and her family moved to Amman, Jordan, in 1984, where the future Duchess was educated at an English-speaking nursery school.
After moving back to Berkshire the family sent Kate to private school, St Andrews School. She went on to briefly study at Downe House before moving onto Marlborough College where she boarded.
For university the young Kate attended the University of St Andrews in Fife, Scotland. Here she was awarded an undergraduate MA (2:1 Hons) in history of art.
