Princess hosts carol service in Westminster Abbey
The Independent
|December 07, 2024
The Princess of Wales has made a rare public appearance with her family to celebrate Christmas last night with individuals who have "supported others".
Kate is making a gradual return to public events after completing her cancer treatment and joined William and their children at Westminster Abbey for her annual Together at Christmas carol service.
The royal couple walked into the historic Abbey where they married in 2011 with Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, nine, and Prince Louis, aged six.
The young royals had stopped at a "Kindness Tree" outside the Abbey's great west door and hung messages on its branches in dedication to someone who has supported them during their lives in keeping with the service's theme of love and empathy.
The royal children were introduced to the Dean of Westminster, Dr David Hoyle when they first arrived with their father William.

Marinating in the milk and honey of Israeli hyperbole
