Princess Kate is set for a “bold yet sophisticated style”, a fashion expert has exclusively told GB News, after Kensington Palace confirmed an upcoming December outing.
The Princess of Wales will host her fourth “Together at Christmas” Carol Service at Westminster Abbey on Friday, December 6.
According to Kensington Palace, this year’s service will provide a moment to reflect upon the importance of love and empathy, and how much we need each other, especially in the most difficult times of our lives.
Supported by the Royal Foundation, the annual Carol Service is spearheaded by the Princess of Wales.

“Together at Christmas” will be filmed for broadcast, and has been developed and delivered in partnership with Westminster Abbey, as a co-production between The Royal Foundation and BBC Studios Events Productions.
The service will air as part of a special programme on ITV1 and ITVX on Christmas Eve.
James Harris, the Regional Sales Manager at Austen & Blake, spoke exclusively to GB News to predict Kate’s style for the highly-anticipated event.
He said: “In previous years, Kate’s Christmas Carol outfits have always conveyed sophistication and warmth.

“She often opts for winter whites and enchanting looks that provide sparkle, whether that’s through her jewellery choices such as her diamond and pearl clad earrings, or sequin embellished clothes.
“Undoubtedly, Kate’s outfit choice is bound to channel grace at this year’s concert. We might see another striking white outfit, or perhaps one that explores more of the festive pallet, given her love for these colours.”
Josh Neuman, the founder of Chummy Tees, also exclusively told GB News: “As the Princess of Wales gradually returns to the public sphere, her sartorial choices will undoubtedly be scrutinised and celebrated.
“Kate has a knack for mixing high-end designer pieces with accessible high-street fashion, making her relatable yet regal. This duality is part of what makes her style so influential.

“One brand we’re likely to see her don is Alexander McQueen. Known for its bold yet sophisticated designs, McQueen has been a staple in Kate’s wardrobe since her wedding gown.
“The brand’s ability to blend traditional British tailoring with modern flair resonates with her polished image.
“I remember when she wore a stunning McQueen coat dress at a royal event, and within hours, similar styles were trending online—talk about the power of influence!”
Neuman added: “Another brand that Kate favours is Emilia Wickstead. Known for elegant silhouettes and timeless pieces, Wickstead captures the essence of effortless chic.

“As someone who’s spent years in the fashion industry, I can attest that Wickstead’s designs are not just clothes; they’re a statement. These pieces often feature clean lines and classic cuts, which align perfectly with Kate’s understated elegance.
“Of course, Kate is also known for championing British high-street brands like Reiss and Zara. This savvy approach bridges the gap between royalty and the everyday fashion enthusiast.
“I’ve seen the impact firsthand; whenever Kate steps out in a piece from these brands, sales skyrocket, and the items often sell out within hours. It’s a testament to her ability to balance luxury with accessibility.”
The fashion expert concluded: “In essence, as Kate returns to public life, her fashion choices will continue to inspire and influence. Whether she’s wearing a bespoke designer gown or a high-street dress, her style will undoubtedly leave its mark on the fashion world.”
