Kate Middleton donned
a very festive Christmas cardigan from her carol concert at Westminster Abbey.
She said: “I’m
so excited to be hosting Together At Christmas here at Westminster Abbey,”
ITV released a first look at the festive
special, Royal Carols: Together
At Christmas, on Friday, which is due to air on Christmas Eve.
The
Together At Christmas carol service was hosted and spearheaded by the Duchess,
and supported by The Royal Foundation last week, to pay tribute to the
incredible work of individuals and organizations across the UK who have
supported their communities through the COVID-19 pandemic.

The royal mom-of-three stunned in a red
Catherine Walker dress and matching accessories for the service but opted for
a collared and rose-printed Miu
Miu cardigan during a segment for the ITV special.
The Duchess’ family, including her parents
Carole and Michael Middleton and her siblings, also turned up to show their
support.
The
event features carols sung by the Westminster Abbey choir alongside Leona Lewis
and Ellie Goulding – who performed at the Cambridges’ wedding reception in
2011.

The service also includes readings delivered
by her husband, British Paralympian and junior doctor Kim Daybell and Good
Morning Britain‘s Kate Garraway.
In a
moving message written for the concert, the Duchess penned: “We have lost
loved ones, seen our frontline workers placed under immeasurable pressure, and
we have experienced heart-wrenching isolation from those we hold dearest. Alongside
this, we have seen how communities have come together to support those most in
need. And through our separation from
others, we have been reminded just how powerful human connection is to us all. Just
how much we need one another. And how loving and feeling a sense of belonging
to one another can provide comfort in tough times. The importance of simply
being together.”
Royal Carols: Together At Christmas will air on Christmas Eve at 7:30pm
on ITV and ITV Hub.
