Princess Kate and Princess Charlotte Share Piano Duet to Open Royal Carols Broadcast

The specially filmed Windsor segment underscores the concert’s emphasis on family, service, hope.

Overview

  • The mother–daughter clip opened ITV and ITVX’s Royal Carols: Together at Christmas broadcast on Christmas Eve after being recorded last week at Windsor Castle’s Inner Hall.
  • They performed a brief passage of Holm Sound by Scottish composer Erland Cooper, a piece Kensington Palace says they enjoy playing at home.
  • Kate introduced the program with a message about the power of coming together with generosity of heart, understanding and hope.
  • The duet was produced specifically for television rather than taken from the Dec. 5 Westminster Abbey service, which drew about 1,600 attendees.
  • Now in its fifth year under Kensington Palace with BBC Studios Events, the concert highlighted volunteers nationwide under the 2025 theme Love in all its forms.
