ROYAL CHRISTMAS! PRINCESS KATE EMPHASIZES THE IMPORTANCE OF CHILDHOOD IN CHRISTMAS ADDRESS
Kate Middleton gives touching Christmas carol service message at Westminster Abbey
The Princess of Wales has shared a special message ahead of Royal Carols: Together At Christmas in Westminster Abbey.
The event, which will be broadcast on ITV on Christmas Eve, featured musical performances by the Westminster Abbey choir, Freya Ridings and James Bay, and a duet from Beverley Knight and Adam Lambert.
In a video message which was recorded last month amid final preparations for the service, Kate,41, shared warm words to all those helping babies and young children “feel safe, valued and loved”.
“Welcome to our third carol service at Westminster Abbey. Christmas is a time when we come together and celebrate the birth of a newborn baby,” Kate said, in a special introduction to the concert.
“The arrival of every baby is a precious and momentous time, it brings us together to reflect on new beginnings and brings hope for the future. Throughout our earliest interactions, relationships and experiences, with those who love us, even before we are born, we lay the foundations to so much of what that future will depend on,” she added.
