The Princess of Wales has once again brought festive cheer to the heart of London, hosting her fifth annual 'Together at Christmas' carol service. The event, held at the historic Westminster Abbey, saw over 1,600 attendees gather, including members of the Royal Family, to celebrate the season with music and reflection.
A Royal Arrival and Family Greeting
The Princess arrived at the Abbey solo, entering first to personally welcome the celebrity guests and performers lined up for the evening. She was seen sharing warm words with stars including actress Kate Winslet, actor Joe Locke, and Chiwetel Ejiofor, all of whom delivered readings during the service.
After her initial duties inside, Catherine made her way back outside for a heartwarming family moment. She greeted her husband, Prince William, and their three children—Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. The Wales family coordinated in a smart navy and black colour scheme, presenting a united and festive front for the cameras.
Celebrity Encounters and Royal Attendance
One of the evening's highlights was the Princess's interaction with celebrated Canadian comedian and actor Eugene Levy. The pair were seen sharing a laugh as they discussed Prince William's day out with Levy earlier in the year. "Lovely to meet you," Levy said to the Princess, who replied, "You know my husband very well now." Levy confirmed the sentiment, stating, "I had a lovely day with your husband."
The event was well-supported by the Royal Family, though some notable figures were absent. King Charles III and Queen Camilla did not attend. Furthermore, despite receiving invitations, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie were unable to be present due to prior commitments, according to reports.
Festive Fashion and Lasting Impact
For the occasion, the Princess of Wales chose an elegant Catherine Walker coat featuring a Troy fur trim collar. She accessorised with a pair of Robinson Pelham Tsar stud star drop earrings, a favourite piece she has worn before, notably to the 'Top Gun: Maverick' premiere.
The fifth iteration of the 'Together at Christmas' concert solidifies Princess Kate's commitment to this festive tradition. By bringing together a diverse crowd of supporters, celebrities, and her own family at Westminster Abbey, she continues to create a cherished moment of communal celebration and reflection during the holiday season.
