“Her Majesty held Christmas close to her heart, as a time that brought people together and reminded us of the importance of faith, friendship and family, and to show empathy and compassion. This year, we've invited hundreds of inspiring individuals to the service,” Kate Middleton said.
The service was attended by members of the royal family including King Charles III and Queen Consort Camilla, the Countess of Wessex, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie as well as Zara and Mike Tindall.
Kate Middleton was also seen with a comforting arm around Princess Charlotte's shoulder, while Prince William placed a guiding hand on his son Prince George's back. Among the performers were the Westminster Abbey choir, singer Craig David and Alfie Boe and Melanie C who sang a duet.
