Modern Family

The Duchess of Cambridge and her daughter Princess Charlotte, with a pink flamingo friend in tow, greeted the public outside the

St. Mary Magdalene Church in

Sandringham in Norfolk, England, on Christmas morning.

They were headed to church with Queen Elizabeth and other members of the royal family, including Prince William, little Prince George and Princess Beatrice.

Prince Andrew, who was forced to step down from royal duties earlier this year due to his entanglement in the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, made a surprise appearance at the service, walking alongside his brother Prince Charles.

The duchess wore a bespoke, mocha Catherine Walker doublebreasted coatdress made from mohair, with a faux fur collar and cuffs and a belted waist.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex did not attend the service as they are on an extended sabbatical in the U. S. and Canada and will return to the U. K. in 2020.
