Prince Edward looked particularly smart when attending the Royal Family’s Christmas lunch at Windsor Castle today.
The Earl of Wessex, 58, debuted a pair of vintage-inspired copper glasses as he drove to the event with his wife, Sophie Wessex, 57, who looked tanned and relaxed in the back of their car, where she sat with their daughter Lady Louise, 19.
Dressed in a smart grey coat, Queen Elizabeth II’s youngest son appeared refreshed as he headed to the lunch hosted by King Charles III and Queen Consort Camilla.
This year’s annual dinner saw the wider family brought together in the largest reunion since the Queen‘s funeral in September – and was the first time the traditional gathering has taken place since 2019, due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
