The Royal Family kicked off the holiday season on Friday, December 5 with Princess Kate's Together at Christmas concert, and on December 10, King Charles got into the festive spirit while attending an advent service at Westminster Abbey. Although he's been undergoing cancer treatment for nearly two years after his winter 2024 diagnosis, The King appeared "grounded" and "relaxed," according to one source.

According to Buckingham Palace, the service highlighted themes of advent and ecumenism, as well as the experience of persecuted Christians.
