The royal family’s Christmas celebrations were not just about gifts and traditions this year but also about fashion statements.
When you’re shopping for gifts on a royal scale like King Charles, it’s no surprise that some recipients might end up with the same lavish presents.
This year, a standout gift seemed to be the 115-pound Highgrove Heritage scarf, a product of a collaboration between the king’s Gloucestershire estate, the prince’s foundation, and Johnstons of Elgin.
During the annual Christmas Day church service at Sandringham, a heartwarming scene unfolded as several royals donned navy and beige accessories, showcasing their shared gift.
Among them were Princess and Lady Louise Windsor, the Earl of Snowdon, and Samuel Chateau, grandson of Princess Margaret, all proudly displaying the luxurious scarf.
Crafted from 100% ultrafine RWS Merino wool sourced from Australia, the scarf is not only a fashion statement but also a charitable endeavor.
Johnstons of Elgin, the brand behind the scarf, has pledged to donate 10% of the retail sales to the prince’s foundation, as stated on the Highgrove Gardens website.
Launched in early October to coincide with the 11th anniversary of the Campaign for Wool and London Craft Week, the scarf features a unique design with a Prince of Wales check pattern woven over a larger Shepherd’s check.
Princess Anne added a stylish touch to her ensemble by draping the scarf over a white coat, complemented by a matching beige hat, while her husband, Timothy Lawrence, sported a similar look during a church service at St. Mary Magdalene Church.
Lady Louise, daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, paired her scarf with a navy coat and coordinating hat, exuding elegance.
Meanwhile, Samuel Chateau opted for a sharp look with navy trousers and a black coat, accessorized with the distinctive Highgrove Heritage scarf.
