Prince George and Princess Charlotte Join Parents Kate and William for a Rare Family Outing

The Princess of Wales put a royal twist on a classic holiday color scheme.

Princess Kate made a festive arrival to host her second-ever Christmas carol service. For the occasion, she wore a long-sleeved maroon wrap dress, which featured structured shoulders and two golden button buckles above the waist. She paired the look with monochromatic accessories, opting for wine-colored pumps, gloves, and a croc-embossed clutch.

Prince William and the couple's two elder children, nine-year-old Prince George and seven-year-old Princess Charlotte, accompanied Kate to the service, marking a rare public outing for the family (four-year-old Prince Louis did not attend).

Charlotte matched with her mom, wearing a maroon coat dress with a fur trim collar. Meanwhile, William and George both wore navy coats and trousers.

Today's event, which marks the second time that the Princess of Wales has hosted a community holiday carol service, plans to pay homage to the late Queen Elizabeth II, who died at 96 years old this past September.

"The carol service will celebrate and showcase the joy that human connection can bring: forging friendships and strengthening communities, creating legacies of humility and kindness, whilst also providing relief and comfort in times of difficulty or loss. The service will combine both traditional and modern elements, reaching people of all faiths and none," the press release from Kensington Palace reads.

Tonight's festivities will also include carols sung by the abbey's world-renowned choir and musical performances and readings delivered by special guests from across the United Kingdom.

Like last year, this year's service will be broadcast by ITV on December 24.
