Kate Middleton speaks of first Christmas without the Queen as she dedicates royal carol service to late monarch

The Princess of Wales has spoken of the royal family's first Christmas without the Queen at her carol service which she has dedicated to the late monarch and her "incredible legacy". Kate pre-recorded her introductory message for the festive concert earlier this month amid its final preparations.

Narrated by Catherine Zeta-Jones, Royal Carols: Together At Christmas will air at 7pm on Christmas Eve on ITV and the event, which took place on December 15, saw 1,800 people come together at Westminster Abbey including Kate, her husband William, the Prince of Wales, their children Prince George and Princess Charlotte, and the King and Queen Consort.

Other members of the royal family were also in attendance at the service, including recent I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here star Mike Tindall and his wife Zara, hours after the final part of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s controversial documentary dropped on Netflix.
