Princess Kate Will Honor This Late Royal With a Heartwarming Gesture at Event Aimed to "Celebrate Love"

On Thursday, November 13, Kensington Palace announced that Princess Kate will host her fifth annual Together at Christmas carol service at Westminster Abbey on December 5. Each year, the Princess of Wales brings members of the Royal Family and people from across the U.K. together to celebrate the spirit of the season, and during next month's service, she'll recognize the recently departed Duchess of Kent with an especially heartfelt touch.

Katharine, the Duchess of Kent, who died at age 92 in September, was married to Queen Elizabeth's cousin, the Duke of Kent, and was a huge supporter of music education. She was so passionate about music, in fact, that she went incognito as a music teacher for years without anyone knowing she was a member of the Royal Family.
