When you’re buying as many presents for people as the King must surely have to, it’s likely you might rely on similar – or even the same gifts – for more than one person.

So perhaps it’s no surprise that Charles has seemingly gifted some of his loved ones a £115 Highgrove Heritage Scarf, available thanks to a collaboration between the King’s Gloucestershire estate, The Prince’s Foundation and Johnstons of Elgin.

In a sweet display, several Royal Family members were pictured wearing the navy and beige accessory while attending the annual Christmas Day church service in Sandringham.

Princess Anne, Lady Louise Windsor, the Earl of Snowdon and Samuel Chatto, Princess Margaret’s grandson, all proudly sported the scarf, made from 100 per cent ultrafine RWS (Responsible Wool Standard) merino wool from Australia. 

Ten per cent of the retail sales of the scarf is donated to The Princes Foundation by Johnstons of Elgin, according to the Highgrove Gardens website.

The scarf was launched in early October in time for The Campaign for Wool’s 11th anniversary and coincided with the London Craft Week where it had its debut.

The design includes the Prince of Wales check, which has been woven over an enlarged Shepherd check.

Princess Anne made her scarf a statement feature of her ensemble, wearing it over a white coat, which she teamed with a matching beige hat.

Her husband Timothy Laurence also sported the garment while attending the service at St Mary Magdalene Church.

Lady Louise, the daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, teamed her scarf with a navy coat and coordinating hat.

Samuel, meanwhile, looked smart in navy trousers and a black coat, which the accessory was tucked into. 

The royal festivities usually start when everyone arrives on Christmas Eve. The family open presents, some of which are gag gifts – one of the Royal Family’s traditions. 

The family then attend services at Saint Mary Magdalene Church on Christmas morning. Once they get home Christmas lunch is served, followed by afternoon games.

Last Christmas the royals experienced their biggest change for decades as they celebrated their first festive period without Queen Elizabeth II, who had passed away just a few months earlier. 

King Charles was seen waving at the crowds who had gathered outside the Norfolk church to wish him and his family well this Christmas, walking alongside Queen Camilla. 

The Princess of Wales smiled broadly as she walked to the church wearing an elegant blue coat and matching hat, holding her daughter Princess Charlotte’s hand. 

Charlotte’s younger brother Prince Louis joined the rest of his family, and held Mia Tindall’s hand as they prepared to attend the service.

On his other side, Prince William also held his son’s hand while Prince George dressed in a navy blue suit, walked alongside his sister.

The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh joined the rest of the royals on their way to the church.
