Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have reportedly not been invited to Princess Catherine's Christmas carol service. The Together at Christmas concert is scheduled to take place at Westminster Abbey on December 11, according to the Mail on Sunday.
Event Details and Guest List
The service's theme is understood to be "love, kindness and caring for one another," with over 1,600 guests expected to attend Westminster Abbey for the event. The princess has been running the event annually since 2021, when she first held Together at Christmas as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Senior royal and extended members of the Royal Family will be invited to the event, and Princess Catherine also usually invites people who have supported their communities over the course of the year.
Sussexes' Status and Plans
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are no longer working royals after they quit their roles in 2020 and moved to the USA. However, the pair returned to Britain with their children at the end of August and are now reportedly living in the Cotswolds. The Sussexes are reportedly spending the Christmas season in the USA, with Meghan's mother, Doria Ragland.
Broadcast and Previous Services
Princess Catherine's televised service will be broadcast on ITV1 and ITVX on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day morning. Fifteen Together at Christmas community carol services will also take place across the UK, from the Shetland Isles to Devon.
In 2025, the princess was joined by her husband, Prince William, and their three children at the service. Organisers said at the time that Princess Catherine specifically wanted to recognise and thank people around the country who were acting with love in their communities, contributing to a more cohesive and connected society.
The guest list usually includes a number of British celebrities. Last year, actress Kate Winslet, actor Chiwetel Ejiofor, and former Great British Baking Show host and chef Mary Berry were in the audience. Princess Catherine's parents and siblings also attend the service, along with members of The Firm including Mike and Zara Tindall and the Duchess of Edinburgh. In 2025, Princess Charlotte joined her mother at the piano for a duet.
Daily Express has contacted the Sussexes and the Waleses for comment.
