Kate Middleton will be spreading some festive cheer with an extra special Christmas Carol service at Westminster Abbey this December.
- The Duchess of Cambridge has been announced as the host of a carol concert, which is supported by The Royal Foundation.
- The service will ‘celebrate the incredible work of individuals and organisations across the nation’ and see some very special guests attend.
- This royal news comes after it was predicted that the Queen’s heartbreaking year is set to make NOT break the Royal Family as she prepares to come back ‘stronger than ever'.
Kate Middleton is set to host a special Christmas Carol Concert in Westminster Abbey this December, to celebrate and bring together inspirational people from across the nation.
The festive concert will take place on the 8th of December, and be aired by ITV in the lead-up to Christmas. Many have claimed that the BBC missed out on the concert, over a new documentary that saw the royal family released a rare joint statement.
A picture of the glamorous invitation, addressed from Kate, was posted to the couple’s official Instagram account.
The caption read, ‘This Christmas we are celebrating the incredible work of individuals and organisations across the nation who go above and beyond to support their communities.'
'The service, which will be broadcast in December, will look back on the last eighteen months, to think not only of the unprecedented challenges that we have all faced as we continue to navigate the COVID-19 pandemic, but also to remember the positives: people and organisations pulling together in their communities, the small acts of kindness across different demographics and generations, and the unsung heroes who stepped up to help others.’
The concert will include volunteers, teachers, armed forces, emergency responders and those who work alongside Kate and William in their numerous foundations.
