While the atmosphere was festive and the abbey beautifully lit, some familiar faces were missing. Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie were not seen at the service, despite public speculation about their attendance. King Charles and Queen Camilla were also absent, which naturally drew attention among royal watchers. Even so, the evening went ahead with warmth and elegance, continuing a tradition that has quickly become one of the most cherished seasonal events hosted by the Princess of Wales.
Kate’s Together At Christmas concert will be broadcast on ITV1 and ITVX on Christmas Eve, with an additional airing on Christmas morning for those who want to experience the event again during the holiday.
