Green is the colour for the Royal Family on a perfectly co-ordinated Christmas Day

They all got the memo, then. The Royal Family were at their co-ordinated best on Christmas Day as they went green for the festive season.

Queen Camilla, the Princess of Wales and Princess Charlotte were matched to perfection as they made their way to church on Christmas morning.

She chose a tartan scarf in navy and deep green which was also reflected in her children’s outfits. Princess Charlotte had a blue and green tartan coat on while both Prince George and Prince Louis wore ties in the same pattern.

Princess Anne complimented the co-ordinating effect by adding a dash of festive red while The King and his brother, the Duke of Edinburgh, chose camel coats for the Christmas Day service. Princess Beatrice chose a deep tan coat for the walk to church and added a green grey headband to keep with the theme.

Adding their own take on winter stye to the mix were the Duchess of Edinburgh and her daughter, Lady Louise, who went pale and interesting. Sophie was in a pastel blue coat while her daughter went for head to toe winter white.
