Louis leaves message for grandparents as royal children join Kate for carol service

The Princess of Wales has arrived at Westminster Abbey ahead of the start of her annual Christmas carol service.

Kate, 42, was not joined by her family, who are expected to arrive later.

In a message sent ahead of the service, Kate said Christmas is a moment of “celebration and joy” as well as an “opportunity to slow down and reflect on the deeper things that connect us all”.

She said: “Christmas is one of my favourite times of the year.”

The Princess of Wales arrives for the Together At Christmas carol service at Westminster Abbey in London. Picture date: Friday December 6, 2024.

The princess, who has been hosting the Together at Christmas Carol service for the past four years, announced last month she had completed chemotherapy treatment for an undisclosed form of cancer.

She has been gradually returning to public duties after revealing in March that she had been found with pre-cancerous cells following an abdominal surgery and was undergoing preventative treatment.

In a health update in September, Kate said she had finished the treatment and her focus was to “stay cancer free”.
