The princess hosted the special carol service, which paid homage to the life and legacy of the late Queen Elizabeth II, who died aged 96 on 8 September. The festive evening included carols performed by the abbey’s choir, while other members of the royal family, armed forces personnel, charity workers and volunteers were also in attendance.
Kensington Palace shared more details ahead of the service: “The carol service will celebrate and showcase the joy that human connection can bring: forging friendships and strengthening communities, creating legacies of humility and kindness, whilst also providing relief and comfort in times of difficulty or loss. The service will combine both traditional and modern elements, reaching people of all faiths and none.”
