Princess Kate's carol service took place last week, with the royal returning to the annual Christmas celebration after a turbulent year. Following her cancer diagnosis at the start of 2024, Kate took some time away from royal duties to undergo chemotherapy and focus on her recovery. In a touching video message shared on social media in September, Kate confirmed that her treatment was complete and she has slowly been returning to work.
In the weeks that followed, the Palace confirmed Princess Kate would host the 'Together at Christmas' service on 6th December at Westminster Abbey as per royal tradition, with the recording due to air on ITV on Christmas Eve. The theme of this year's event was a personal one for Kate, as her message highlighted 'the importance of love and empathy, and how much we need each other, especially in the most difficult times of our lives'.
