The Cambridges Join Queen Elizabeth and Prince Charles for a Socially Distanced Photo Op
The royal family have come together for their first full portrait of 2020.
To close their royal train tour, which launched earlier this week, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge arrived at Windsor Castle to meet Prince Charles, Duchess Camilla, Countess Sophie and the Earl of Wessex, Princess Anne, and, of course, Queen Elizabeth II for a socially distanced holiday portrait. For the photo op, Duchess Kate wore a chic emerald-green wool coat with a fur collar, matching gloves, and black suede boots. And she had her hair pinned back in a sophisticated half-ponytail, revealing her diamond teardrop earrings.
The queen also sported a festive look, opting for a vibrant red overcoat with a matching top hat, black leather loafers, and her signature handbag and gloves in tow. All the royals stood six feet apart, acknowledging the United Kingdom's social distancing guidelines amid the current global health crisis, and resulting in a more untraditional royal family portrait.
Per an official press release from Buckingham Palace, the family listened to a selection of Christmas carols performed by The Salvation Army Band before meeting with the leaders of the Salvation Army in the U.K. and Republic of Ireland to thank them for their work throughout the pandemic and over the holidays. The Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, the Earl and Countess of Wessex, and the Princess Royal also greeted a number of local volunteers and key workers in Berkshire to thank them for their goodwill.
The Cambridges' visit to Windsor Castle marks the final stop of the royal couple's three-day royal train tour of England, Scotland, and Wales. During the quick retreat, the pair paid tribute to individuals and organizations working to uplift their communities amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
