Kate Middleton Christmas outfit catch-up. Plus, that 'Christmas present' from Prince William

It's been a busy few days for the Royal Family's newest recruit - Kate Middleton - and her impressive wardrobe. If you missed any of her amazing Christmas outfits, it's time to catch up...

Just before heading off to Sandringham for Christmas Eve, Kate joined husband, Prince William for a cooking demonstration at homeless charity, Centrepoint. After the drama of McQueen earlier in the week, her olive green long-sleeved wool and cashmere turtleneck dress by American designer, Ralph Lauren was subtle yet chic. Kate's khaki dress has since sold out, but the winter knit is still available in grey and black.

She left her staple LK Bennett coat at home this time, keeping the rest of her look simple with black accessories. Those waterproof Aquatalia heeled knee high boots have definitely become a firm favourite with the Duchess already. She wore them again on Christmas Day with a grey coat for her first outing to St Mary's church on the Sandringham estate.

In the afternoon of the 25th - with Prince Phillip noticeably absent due to a heart scare on Christmas Eve - Kate joined the Royal Family for their second trip to church.

She chose a plum funnel-neck frock coat from an as yet unconfirmed British designer and matching wine-coloured made-to-measure hat by milliner - and Middleton family favourite, Jane Corbett. The Duchess' shoes were a specially requested re-issue of a previous design by Jaime Mascaro. He also designed her Pretty Ballerinas clutch bag for The Sun Military Awards. His office have now confirmed that the £169 court shoes will be available again very soon.

Receiving flowers from the crowds who had gathered in the church yard, Kate also showed off her Kiki McDonough 18-carat gold diamond and citrine drop earrings - reportedly a Christmas present from Prince William worth £1,900. The Chelsea-based jeweller was often commissioned by William's late mother, Princess Diana to create jaw-dropping jewels for red carpet events. The Duchess has already been pictured wearing four of Kiki's designs this year.

It's thought Pippa Middleton joined her sister, Prince Harry and the Duke of Cambridge for yesterday's Boxing Day shoot.
