She added that last year’s concert reminded her of what she loves most about the festival. “Seeing people coming together, celebrating and experiencing special moments, whilst also thinking about the year that’s passed.”

Kate said that she invited hundreds of “inspiring individuals” to the Christmas concert which was also attended by King Charles, Queen Consort Camilla, Princess Charlotte, and Prince George, among other royal family members. They are “those who showcase the power of connectedness and community values, allowing us to continue Her Majesty‘s tradition of recognising and thanking those who have gone above and beyond to support others”.

The Princess said that Queen Elizabeth “leaves us an incredible legacy and one that has deeply inspired many of us”. She added that the first Christmas without her grandmother-in-law will feel “very different” but the family “can still remember the memories and traditions” they shared with her.

“Take time to slow down and celebrate with family and friends all the wonderful things that make Christmas so special,” she concluded. While the carol service was held on December 15, it will be broadcasted on Saturday, Christmas Eve.
