While our fascination with the royal family is year-round, admittedly, it's the holiday season that has our ears pricked and eyes peeled when it comes to admiring their public appearances. I mean, have you seen their 2023 Christmas card photo? The coordination would give any JC Penny family photoshoot a run for their money.
Today, however, it's not another matching fashion situation we're gushing over but instead, a twinning beauty moment from the Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, and her daughter, Princess Charlotte. In other words, prepare for major cuteness.
The family (along with a young Mia Tindall) attended the annual Christmas morning service at Sandringham Church on Monday 25 December. And for this monumental occasion, Kate and Charlotte, who is just eight years old, both wore their long locks down and with a half-up portion of hair plaited in braids.

Like mother like daughter, ey?
As adorable as this twinning hair situation is, what sets the pairs looks apart are the finishing touches. Like usual, Kate opted to wear a deep navy blue fascinator with an angular bow and feather-tipped sticks, while Charlotte topped her plaits with a sweet ribboned bow. The latter is not only a very on-trend beauty accessory but it's also the same colour as Kate Middleton's outfit. It's the small details!
We cannot wait to see what more twinning moments Kate and Charlotte provide us in 2024.
