King Charles’s cousin Lord Frederick Windsor and Sophie Winkleman are the spitting image of William and Kate as they attend carol service in London
Lord Frederick Windsor and Sophie Winkleman put on a sweet performance as they attended a Christmas carol concert in London this evening.
King Charles’ great-nephew, 45, and his Peep Show actress wife, 44, looked loved up at the annual Fayre of St James Christmas Carol concert in Piccadilly.
Sophie looked stunning in a checked dress, which also seemed to double as a coat to keep the cold out.
She added a beautiful black bag from London-based Aspinal, a pearl necklace and black stiletto heels, while her husband opted for a navy blue suit and striped tie.
The couple’s gentle demeanor and smart fashion choices were reminiscent of their distant relatives, Prince William and Kate.
The carol service is often a royal event, with past guests including Princess Beatrice and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, and Prince Harry’s ex-girlfriend Cressida Bonas, while Queen Camilla’s cousin is rumored to be at this year’s show performance.
Sophie exuded the glamor and stylish style of the Princess of Wales, with her half-up, half-down hairstyle and glossy make-up.
The charity event is organized in aid of Quintessentially Foundation and The Firefly Project, which supports children and young people in London.

Known as the ‘charity Christmas event of the year’, tickets in 2024 range from £150 for a general church ticket to £500 for ‘Prime Minister’ tickets.
In September, Sophie even praised the ‘amazing’ Princess of Wales as ‘brave’ and ‘beautiful’ in a rare interview.
The actress said at the time that she last saw Kate at Wimbledon in July, where she was greeted with a standing ovation.
Kate, who later completed her chemotherapy, was still undergoing treatment at the time, prompting Sophie to say: ‘I last saw her at Wimbledon; it was so cheerful to see her, beautiful as always. She has been incredibly brave and is doing so well.”
The actress also praised King Charles, who was diagnosed with cancer in January, explaining that the 76-year-old monarch is reluctant to take a break despite his diagnosis.
She told me Hello: ‘Duty and service pass through him like a piece of stone; it just doesn’t occur to him to rest, something those who love him desperately want him to do.”
Sophie said she considers everyone in the central royal family a “trusted friend”, adding that they work “really hard” despite not having an “easy existence” due to the nature of the role.
Elsewhere, Sophie revealed that she has banned her children Maud, 11, and Isabella, 8, from using social media, fearing it will affect their attention spans and expose them to harmful content.

It’s a view that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex would undoubtedly support, launching a campaign in August to tackle the harm done to children online.
The initiative, called The Parents’ Network, aims to help provide a “safe and supportive community.” [which] is available to all healthcare providers navigating the complex digital world’.
Sophie met Lord Frederick Windsor on a night out in Soho and married him at Hampton Court Palace in September 2009.
Guests included senior members of the royal family and the bride’s half-sister, TV presenter Claudia Winkleman.
The actress wore a silk dress with a sweetheart neckline, created by Anna Bystrova of Roza Couture, favorite designer of her new mother-in-law, Princess Michael of Kent.
Lady Sophie and Lord Freddie have lived in Los Angeles for seven years – after moving there the day after their wedding to allow Sophie to continue her acting work.
Her roles include Ashton Kutcher’s character Walden’s girlfriend Zoe in Two and a Half Man. She also wrote screenplays for Salma Hayek and Penélope Cruz. Lord Frederick continued to work for JP Morgan.
Other appearances include roles in Peep Show, Death in Paradise, Sanditon and This is Going to Hurt.

While living in the United States, the couple welcomed their first child, daughter Maud Elizabeth Daphne Marina, who was born in August 2013 at the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center.
This was actually Sophie’s second stay in LA. She had moved there after graduating college, but left when she believed executives wanted to turn her into a “skinny little star.”
They welcomed their second daughter, Isabella Alexandra May Windsor, back to Britain. She was born at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in London.
Maud and Isabella were one of five bridesmaids for her sister-in-law Lady Gabriella Windsor’s wedding to Thomas Kingston in 2019.
She previously opened up about her experience of joining the royal family, telling The Times in 2020: ‘I have been incredibly welcomed with open arms by all of them.
‘I haven’t had any negative experiences. The Queen was great, Prince Charles was great, Prince William was heaven.
‘They would never turn me down if I wanted to play a role. Everyone took care of me.”
Sophie explained that her royal in-laws did everything they could to support her after she was injured in a road accident in November 2017.

She was a backseat passenger in a chauffeur-driven car when another vehicle struck her car after she swerved to avoid a deer.
The car she was riding in was dramatically thrown into the air before crashing, causing life-threatening injuries.
While Sophie was stuck upside down in the back of the car, she admitted that she assumed she was a ‘goner’ and started thinking about her husband’s life without her.
Medics managed to cut her free, but she had broken her foot and two bones in her back; it took three days before she was told she wouldn’t be left paralyzed.
Sophie said the rehabilitation period, which lasted over a year, was “miserable” and she was unable to pick up her daughters.
The royals gathered, with Prince William asking an air ambulance colleague to ‘take good care of her’. Sophie, then Duchess of Wessex, visited her hospital bedside and Prince Charles provided her family with two meals a day, prepared by his chef at Clarence House.
She said: ‘I heard from almost every member of Freddie’s family that I was spoiled by them.’
