Kate Middleton Hosts Christmas Carol Service After Cancer Recovery

The Princess of Wales emphasized love and empathy during her annual carol service, marking her first major public event since being declared cancer-free in September.

Kate Middleton, 42, led her fourth annual 'Together at Christmas' carol service at Westminster Abbey, which aired on Christmas Eve after being pre-recorded on December 6.
In her opening speech, the Princess of Wales reflected on themes of love, kindness, and empathy, calling Christmas a time to connect and support one another through life's challenges.
The event featured performances by young musicians, a steel pan band, and readings by notable figures, including Prince William, who focused on the importance of love and community.
This marks Kate's first Christmas carol service since her cancer diagnosis in March, with her recovery and return to public life celebrated by over 1,600 attendees, including her family and community volunteers.
The royal family continues their holiday traditions with Christmas festivities at Sandringham, though Prince Harry and Meghan Markle remain absent from royal gatherings.
