The royal couple, accompanied by their three children - Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, delivered a powerful response to critics. Despite the ongoing controversy sparked by Scobie's confession about naming royals in the Dutch edition of his book, the Prince and Princess of Wales appeared in high spirits.
The star-studded event featured Prince Louis, 5, joining his parents and older siblings at the royal Christmas carol concert for the first time. The family's public display of unity is seen as a strong response to Scobie, who has recently admitted to providing "early and unedited text" to a Dutch publisher.
This demonstration of solidarity from Kate and William is considered a brilliant way of addressing the author's actions, which some view as an attempt to "disgrace" the royal family. The couple's resilience and togetherness at the Christmas Carol Service reinforce a message of strength and continuity in the face of challenges.
