Right, darlings, pull up a velvet cushion, because Lady Jane has news from Westminster Abbey hotter than the mulled wine at the Clarence House Christmas party.

So, picture it: Westminster Abbey glowing with candlelight, the choir in full angelic flow, and in strides Catherine, Princess of Wales – our very own Kate Middleton – hosting her “Royal Carols: Together at Christmas” like the seasoned royal powerhouse she now is. She’s in a long, festive green coat, looking every inch the future Queen, and at her side is Prince William, coordinated in classic blue, with Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and little Prince Louis all in matching blue suits and navy tones, like a perfectly styled royal Christmas card come to life.

This is no casual sing‑along; this is Kate’s signature event. She started the Christmas carol service several years ago as a tribute to volunteers and community heroes across the United Kingdom, turning a simple concert into a national hug for everyone who quietly keeps the country going. Each December it’s filmed in Westminster Abbey and then broadcast across the U.K. on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, so the entire nation can sip tea, nibble mince pies, and say, “Doesn’t Catherine look radiant?”

This year, Catherine has gone full star power. Among the guests at Westminster Abbey are none other than Kate Winslet and Eugene Levy, casually taking their seats like it’s the most normal thing in the world to spend a December evening with the Princess of Wales. The theme continues to be togetherness and kindness: people who have volunteered, led local initiatives, or simply been that vital, helping hand in their communities are front and center, celebrated not with speeches but with music, warmth, and a very royal spotlight.

And can we talk about continuity? As George, Charlotte, and Louis get older, they’ve shifted from shy, occasional appearances to confident, regular fixtures at this carol service. It’s like a gentle royal masterclass: Westminster Abbey today, coronations tomorrow. Catherine walks in surrounded by her family, embodying that carefully balanced image of modern monarchy – glamorous but grounded, ceremonial but genuinely emotional.

So there you have it: Catherine, Princess of Wales, in Westminster Abbey, hosting “Royal Carols: Together at Christmas,” surrounded by Prince William, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis, and a glittering cast of stars and everyday heroes. And somewhere in the back, you just know Lady Jane would be clutching her pearls and humming along to “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing,” pretending not to stare at Kate’s coat.
