Christmas 2012
William and Kate spent the holidays with the Middletons in 2012, shortly after she’d been hospitalized from hyperemesis gravidarum with her pregnancy with Prince George. For this understated and private Christmas church service, Kate re-wore a burgundy Hobbs coat that she’d previously worn on engagements earlier that year.
