On Christmas Day 2024, the Princess of Wales exuded elegance as she joined the British Royal Family for the Christmas Morning Service at Sandringham Church.
Princess Kate attended alongside her husband, Prince William, and their three children—Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
The family was joined by other royals, including King Charles III, Queen Camilla, Zara and Mike Tindall, and Princess Beatrice with Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, who made a last-minute change to their holiday plans.
While Kate’s emerald green ensemble was characteristically chic, her accessories stole the spotlight, particularly her stunning Daystar Blue Topaz Earrings from British fine jeweler Robinson Pelham, valued at £5,995.
The Meaning Behind the Earrings
The earrings, described by the brand as “shield-shaped blue topaz pieces featuring slim, elegant half-moon and drop shield gemstones,” are uniquely cut for Robinson Pelham. Inspired by the Georgian era, they include diamond spokes in a claw setting, creating a radiant effect around the central blue topaz stones.
According to Gemporia, a British jewelry retailer, blue topaz is linked to “soothing, healing, and re-motivating” qualities. This holds particular significance for Princess Kate, who revealed her cancer diagnosis in March 2024. After completing chemotherapy in September, she shared her focus on staying “cancer-free” and gradually resuming her royal duties.
The gemstone is also associated with good fortune and love, with claims that wearing topaz can help stabilize emotions and calm nerves—symbolic traits for a year that tested Kate’s resilience.
A Tartan Scarf with Symbolism
Kate’s choice of a Black Watch tartan scarf added another layer of meaning to her Christmas Day look. The scarf perfectly complemented her emerald outfit and carried historical significance.
Natalie Salmon, editor of H! Fashion, explained: “The Black Watch’s historical ties to bravery and resilience mirrored Kate’s personal journey, making her decision to incorporate the tartan deeply symbolic.”
A Thoughtful Approach to Style
From her dazzling earrings to her meaningful scarf, Princess Kate’s Christmas Day ensemble reflected not only her timeless sense of fashion but also her personal journey of strength and recovery throughout 2024.
