The monarch honours the Princess of Wales for her contributions before the annual Sandringham reunion
King Charles extended a heartfelt tribute to his daughter-in-law Catherine, the Princess of Wales, just hours before delivering his Christmas speech.
The Princess of Wales hosted her annual Christmas Carol Service on December 6 at Westminster Abbey, an event that celebrates unity and compassion during the holiday season. This year’s "Together at Christmas" ceremony featured moving messages and moments that will air on ITV.
To show his appreciation for Catherine's efforts, the King took to the royal family’s official Instagram account to promote the event. The shared post highlighted Catherine’s video with a message from the King’s spokesperson encouraging viewers to tune in: "Watch the Together at Christmas Carol Service on @itv and @itvxofficial at 7:30 pm this evening."
This gesture preceded King Charles’ historic Christmas address, marking a poignant moment for the royal family during a challenging year. Both the King and Catherine faced significant personal trials in 2024, as they were diagnosed with cancer.
The Christmas Carol Concert was Catherine’s first major event since her diagnosis, drawing key royal family members in a show of support. Reflecting on the occasion, Catherine shared her gratitude: "This service reflects upon the importance of love and empathy, and how much we need each other, especially in the most difficult times of our lives. Thank you to everyone who has been a part of this year’s celebrations."
The tribute from King Charles underscores the enduring bond within the royal family, particularly during the festive season.
