Dressed in a burgundy dress and smart black jacket, Kate looked flawless and glowing.

The lunch — which was also attended by Prince Charles, Camilla, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie and other members of the royal family — lasted two hours.

Afterwards, William and Kate left together, returning to their Kensington Palace home.

It is the second time Kate has attended the annual event, which the Queen hosts to celebrate Christmas with the members of her extended family who can’t be accommodated at Sandringham on December 25.
