Touching reason why the Royal Family all wear the same scarf on Christmas Day & you can snap it up, too
The royal family will take their yearly Christmas Day stroll today.
As they make their way to church, we might expect to see King Charles, Queen Camilla and Prince William, Kate Middleton, and their three children: Prince George, age 11, Princess Charlotte, age 9, and Prince Louis, age 6.
However, in past years, keen-eyed royal fans have quickly noticed that several family members, such as Princess Anne and Lady Louise Windsor, wore the same scarf for the historic stroll.
And it turns out that the scarf might be seen again today because the matching accessory has a very heartfelt meaning.
The Prince of Wales Highgrove Heritage Scarf is a beige and grey scarf that was made in partnership with the woolen mill Johnstons of Elgin, the Prince’s Foundation, and King Charles Highgrove residence.
100% ultrafine Responsible Wool Standard merino wool from Australia is used in its sustainable sourcing.

In addition, the fabric has the recognizable Prince of Wales check woven over a larger Shepherd check.
Princess Anne and her husband, Timothy Laurance, wore the scarf with their coats on Christmas Day of last year, making at least five royals wear it.
Lady Louise, the 21-year-old daughter of Prince Edward, looked put together by wearing a navy coat with the scarf.
The winter item was also worn by Princess Margaret’s son, the 63-year-old Earl of Snowdon, and her grandson, Samuel Chatto, who is currently 28.
A lot of royal admirers also conjectured that King Charles would have given his family the matching scarf as a present.
Fortunately for lovers of the royal family, anyone can obtain this gorgeous scarf, which many royals are likely to be wearing today.
Right now, it’s for sale on the Highgrove Garden website for an incredible 150.
According to the website, the Highgrove Heritage Scarf made its debut during London Craft Week in early October, just in time for the Campaign for Wool’s eleventh anniversary.
Originally made from undyed wool, the Shepherd check was colored with a black, dark brown, and white color scheme.
Both designs have been incorporated into this modern interpretation, along with the introduction of a warm honey colour inspired by the Highgrove Gardens and a bee emblem that has been part of the Johnstons of Elgin company since the 1930s.
The active 1,000-person workforce at the mills is symbolized by the bee. For for than 40 years, everyone has been developing these unique textile skills, from apprentices to artisans and innovators.
A royal Christmas
The royal family had a small, private get-together on Christmas Day last year.
After their walk and church service, the royals headed back to Sandringham for a traditional Christmas dinner.
At Sandringham, the family’s Christmas Day festivities usually start with breakfast.
Inside the Royal Family s extravagant Christmas Eve celebrations
SARAH Hewson, royal editor at Talk TV, said the Royal Family typically gather on Christmas Eve to kickstart the celebrations.
She added: The little royals – George, Charlotte and Louis and Camilla’s grandchildren – will help finish decorating the tree.
“Then, the royal family and all their guests will place their gifts on a trestle table in the red drawing room and they will open them at tea time, a German tradition introduced by Prince Albert.
“And contrary to what we might expect when you think about a royal Christmas, there are no diamonds under the tree.
“They actually give joke gifts – Kate once, when he was single, gave Harry a Grow Your Own girlfriend kit, and apparently Meghan’s present to the Queen on her first Christmas at Sandringham with a singing hamster.
Former chef to the Queen Darren McGrady revealed that some members of the family have a full English – but that “married women” have something lighter brought up to their rooms.
Christmas lunch includes “salad with shrimp or lobster” followed by turkeys and Christmas pudding.
And today, after their lunch, the royals are expected to gather in a very opulent room inside Sandringham House.
