The Royal Family have united at a Christmas concert hours after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle 's controversial documentary came to a conclusion this morning.
Kate Middleton is hosting the concert at Westminster Abbey in London, where royals will come together for the festive event.
The concert will be broadcast as part of Royal Carols: Together At Christmas, a special programme narrated by Catherine Zeta Jones, which will air on ITV1 at Christmas Eve.
The special Christmas service is dedicated to the late Queen, and will recognise the selfless efforts of individuals, families and communities across the UK.
A synopsis for the show outlines that the service aims to dedicate the late monarch and the values that she demonstrated throughout her life, including “duty, empathy, faith, service, kindness, compassion and support for others.”
It adds: “These principles are shared and personified by the inspirational guests who have been invited to the Abbey in recognition of their tireless work to help and care for those around them.”
Prince William, King Charles, Camilla, The Queen Consort, and other members of the Royal Family will be in attendance.
Kate looked incredibly festive in a beautiful fit and flare plum V-neck style dress for the evening.
She matched her look with a pair of suede heeled shoes and a glittery clutch bag, and accessorised her look with what appeared to be drop ruby gem earrings.
With her brunette locks styled into bouncy blow dried curls, she smiled at crowds who were gathered by the Abbey in London as she was pictured walking past a row of lit Christmas trees.
Following her arrival, other members of the family were pictured attending the venue. Princess Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank, and her sister Princess Beatrice and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi followed into the church.
Sophie, the Countess of Wessex, was then seen entering, wearing an elegant white trench coat.
The Abbey is filled with festive decorations to provide a beautiful Christmas backdrop and some of the nation’s most beloved carols, including O Come, All Ye Faithful, will be sung.
There will be performances from Craig David, Alexis Ffrench and Samantha Barks, and a special duet from Alfie Boe and former Spice Girl Melanie C.
Readings from Prince William, Dame Kristin Scott Thomas, Hugh Bonneville and Kadeena Cox have also been organised.
As well as this, the broadcast will feature additional content, including an introduction from Kate, as well as films highlighting individuals who have gone above and beyond to support others this year, and tributes to the Queen.
Kate recently published a behind-the-scenes filming picture on The Prince and Princess of Wales’ official Twitter account.
Wearing a sequin-covered Aurora Ballerina Dress from Needle & Thread, that she debuted at a Buckingham Palace reception in January 2020, the Princess stood in front of a beautifully decorated Christmas tree as she beamed at the camera.
The princess wore her hair in loose curls and rocked the same dangling ruby Soru earrings she wore the first time she sported the dress.
She captioned the post: "#TogetherAtChristmas @ itv Christmas Eve”.
Social media users have taken to express their joy at Kate hosting the Carol concert again this year, as well as complimenting how "lovely" she always looks.
One person wrote: "The Princess looks so beautiful. Can't wait for this year's Christmas concert."
And another said: "So much beauty, talent and grace! Thank you Prince William for marrying someone that makes the UK and the Commonwealth so proud!"
While a third put: "Looking forward to it. Hoping that it is now an annual tradition. Loving the jobs that you are doing for us all."
And a fourth wrote: "Wow, Princess of Wales looking stunning and classy."
Another user said: "Catherine always looks lovely. Cannot wait to see who will be involved this year. Last year was amazing!"
Last year, Kate also sported red for the “Together at Christmas” event, wearing a Catherine Walker coat dress with a large bow at the neck.
She also sat down to play the piano for a special performance with singer Tom Walker, wowing the British public.
The filming of the Christmas carol concert comes just hours after the final three episodes of Harry and Meghan's controversial Netflix docuseries came to an end.
The couple revealed more explosive claims about their lives as royals and why they quit.
Last week, in the first episodes, the pair discussed the royals' "unconscious bias", Meghan's emotionless first meeting with the Princess of Wales and claimed there was no protection from the media.
