Princess Kate kicked off the festive season in true royal style, giving fans a glimpse of the magic behind her annual Christmas carol service.
Just hours before guests arrived at Westminster Abbey, the Princess of Wales revealed a behind-the-scenes look at the preparations.
Westminster Abbey set the tone first, sharing a photo of its grand interior on Twitter, glowing under white lights and red bows, announcing: “The finishing touches are being carried out before Together at Christmas.”
Shortly after, Kate added her own touch of charm by releasing a new YouTube video featuring familiar favorites Dame Mary Berry, Angellica Bell and Tom Allen.
Tonight’s service, now in its fifth year, will welcome 1,600 guests for one of Kate’s most meaningful traditions.
The celebration brings together families, community heroes and well-known names, with readings from Hollywood icons Kate Winslet and Chiwetel Ejiofor, as well as a heartfelt appearance from Prince William.
One of the highlights of this year’s ceremony will be a performance by young musicians from Future Talent, the charity founded by the late Duchess of Kent to champion gifted children from low-income families.
Kensington Palace also treated its followers to another set of images, featuring a towering Christmas tree adorned with poinsettias, bright red ornaments and candle-style lights, as well as stunning shots of the abbey’s stained glass windows and pulpit dressed for the evening.
For the Princess, this gathering is more than a concert, it is a carefully thought-out moment to bring people together and start the holidays on a happy note.
