Lena Tindall's Hand-Me-Down Christmas Coat: A Royal Thrifty Tradition

Mike and Zara Tindall's daughter, Lena, attended her first Christmas morning service at St Mary Magdalene Church this year, wearing a red coat previously worn by her cousin Isla Phillips in 2017. The thrifty fashion moment highlights the royal family's tradition of reusing clothing.

Isla, now 11, and her sister Savannah, 12, are the daughters of Zara's brother Peter Phillips and his ex-wife Autumn Kelly. Savannah also sported a hand-me-down, wearing a military-inspired green dress coat that her mother Autumn wore to the Cheltenham Racecourse in 2015.

Prince Louis made his debut walkabout at Sandringham this Christmas, joining his father, the Prince of Wales, and siblings Prince George and Princess Charlotte. The family greeted crowds after the traditional service, marking the first Christmas at Sandringham since 2019.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were absent, following their recent Netflix documentary. Hundreds of people gathered outside the church, with some camping overnight to see the royal family.
