This Christmas, Prince William and Kate Middleton they chose the blue for his clothes and those of his three children, George (10), Carlotta (8) e Louis (5).
They wore shades of that color in their clothing to attend the annual Monday morning event held at St. Mary Magdalene Church, Norfolk, England.
The Princess of Wales, 41, wore a navy blue dress complete with Juliette Botterill Millinery hat, Alexander McQueen coat, Gianvito Rossi boots and Princess Diana sapphire and diamond earrings.
William and George also opted for that tone, albeit darker. Charlotte, unlike him, was wearing a rather green coat and blue socks. Louis, for her part, surprised with his plaid trousers.

We read something similar on the specialized page Your Holidays Lights, where it is clarified that the color was not part of the first Christmas decorations because it was very difficult to create.
“Blue was adopted by the Catholic Church as the color of Mary. Today, blue is commonly included as one of the five main colors of Christmas lights,” the site specifies.
This is underlined by Why Christmas, a portal dedicated to answering questions about Christmas Blue is often associated with Mary and is also the color of wealth., since in the Middle Ages blue inks and paints were “more expensive than gold”. “Mary was often depicted wearing blue to show that she was very important.”
William meets his supporters after attending the Christmas Day service at church. Photo: APNext U agrees with the previous ones: it reports that blue at Christmas is used “for protection and conveys security, honor and loyalty”.
In conclusion, it can be said that wearing blue at parties, indirectly, intentionally or not, could have to do with aspects related to security, wealth and the figure of Mary.
