The Princess of Wales will host the Together At Christmas carol service at Westminster Abbey on December 5, celebrating love, togetherness, and community.

Kate has hosted multiple Christmas carol services annually, reinforcing her tradition of supporting charitable initiatives during the holidays.

The timing overlaps with Meghan’s Netflix Christmas release and Catherine’s concert, while the King hosts a state visit from Germany in Windsor from early December.

The nationwide services aim to blend tradition with inclusivity for people of all faiths and none.

Attendance is not fixed in advance, but previous editions have drawn notable royal and Middleton family participation.

Past editions have included other royal family members, and the concert remains a cherished holiday tradition for royal watchers and viewers alike.

Historically, attendees include Prince William and their children, along with Kate’s parents and siblings, with extended family sometimes joining the congregation.

The program involves Future Talent collaborations, honors Katharine, Duchess of Kent, and features nature-inspired decor with wreaths donated by the Royal Horticultural Society.

The Duchess’s broad musical tastes, including beatboxing and rap, are noted as part of her lifelong love of music.

Jamie Butterworth will frame the service with natural displays outside the Abbey, while wreaths donated by the Royal Horticultural Society will be used with schoolchildren.

In addition to Westminster Abbey, about 15 regional carol services across the UK will be held under the same love-and-togetherness theme, hosted by lord-lieutenants with The Royal Foundation, in locations nationwide.

A live blog will provide ongoing updates, with morning presenter Sophia Papamavroudi promising continuing royal coverage.

The carol service is a longstanding annual event with royal participation that continues to evolve with new elements and guest appearances each year.

The service originated in 2021 to honor first responders and frontline workers during the pandemic and traditionally features music, readings, and royal attendance.

Kate Winslet will attend as an ambassador for The King’s Foundation, one of King Charles’s charities.

Guests will include individuals nominated by lord-lieutenants, charities linked to the Royal Family, and people recognized for acts of kindness this year.

The late Duchess of Kent will be honored, and young performers from Future Talent will perform outside the Abbey to support musically gifted children from low-income backgrounds.

Last year, Kate surprised Princess Charlotte with a performance by Royal Ballet dancers, a moment arranged with Prince Louis’s help, underscoring the family's ongoing involvement and tradition.

The Westminster Abbey setting will feature a garden ambiance by Jamie Butterworth, highlighting nature’s healing role—a focus for the Princess since her cancer diagnosis.

Champions like Katharine have helped musically gifted children access opportunities and remove barriers to progress, as noted by Robinson and the Duchess’s former co-founder.

Kensington Palace publicly confirms the return of the Carol Service, highlighting Christmas as a time for connection and community.

A Kindness Tree from last year showcased guest gratitude; this year’s event is expected to maintain focus on acts of kindness and communal generosity.

Kate Middleton’s annual Christmas concert returns on December 5, 2025, with streaming available in the U.S. later in December.

Meghan Markle’s Christmas special episode for With Love, Meghan is slated to release around the same time as Catherine’s concert.
