When it comes to fashion, every so often there’s one item that ends up becoming the must-have piece of the season.

Along with cringey cracker jokes, fights over the best Quality Street chocolate and post-lunch naps in front of the TV, Christmas Day would not feel right if we didn’t see the royals heading off on their seasonal trip to church.
