Surprise! For the second time in a row, Princess Kate is taking over the organization and moderation of the royal Christmas concert. In addition to the royal family, some stars could also be present at the contemplative event. One message is particularly important to the princess.
Princess Kate will be given a special honor: Prince William's wife will once again be the hostess of the British royal family's traditional Christmas concert this year. This was announced by Buckingham Palace, according to "People" magazine.
An Instagram post on Kate and William's joint account also reveals that the event will take place on December 15 at the famous Westminster Abbey. In a short clip, a hand draws a kind of comic of the impressive church and the royals - including Christmas outfits and the two corgis of the late Queen Elizabeth II. It also states that the concert will be broadcast on the British TV channel ITV on Christmas Eve .
In addition to members of the royal family, charity workers, community volunteers and members of the military will also be present at the festival to "celebrate the joy that human connections can bring," the report said.
In addition, the Queen, who died in September, will be honored again with the service, which aims to highlight her values of empathy, compassion and support for others during her reign, the palace said.
Princess Kate, who is once again organizing the concert together with the Royal Foundation, wants to bring modern and traditional themes to the event and welcome people of all faiths. In addition, there will be several readings and choirs in the western decorated Westminster Abbey.
It is not yet known which stars from the music scene will appear. Last year, Ellie Goulding, Tom Walker and Leona Lewis, among others, caused goose bumps in the church. Kate also surprised in 2021 with a piece on the piano. During a duet with Walker, she performed on the song "For Those Who Can't Be Here".
"Without a doubt it was a once in a lifetime experience," Walker said of their duet. "I thought she absolutely rocked the performance; it's not easy to just hop behind a piano with a group of musicians you've never played with before and record live on camera, but she did absolutely nailed it."
