Westminster Abbey Hosts Wales Family for 2025 Carol Event

Prince William and Princess Catherine attended the 2025 Together at Christmas carol service at Westminster Abbey. They were joined by their three children: Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. Upon arrival, the children placed their name cards on the “Connection Tree,” a feature set up at the entrance of the abbey for the service.

The event welcomed approximately 1,600 guests. Those invited included volunteers, charity workers, carers, community organisers and individuals involved in local support services across the UK. Several public figures attended as contributors to the programme.

Musical performances were provided by Katie Melua and the group Fisherman’s Friends. Readings during the service were delivered by Prince William, Kate Winslet, Chiwetel Ejiofor and others who participated in the programme.

The event was hosted by Princess Catherine, who has been involved in organising this annual carol service in connection with her community and early years initiatives. Guests received a written message from her that highlighted themes of kindness, support, listening and care.

Princess Catherine returned to public engagements earlier in the year following a period of preventative chemotherapy, which had been publicly announced by her office.
