Princess Kate slips sweet tradition George, Charlotte and Louis get ‘really excited’ about | Royal | News
The Princess of Wales has revealed a sweet family “tradition” that all three of her children are “really excited about”. Princess Catherine hosted her sixth annual Christmas carol service at Westminster Abbey on Friday evening and her family was in full force to support her.
The queen-to-be arrived at the abbey in the early evening and was then joined by Prince William, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis for the private service. The family then walked to the “Tree of Connection,” where guests were invited to add their own named loops to a paper chain adorning the tree, symbolizing the power of togetherness and the importance of moments of connection with each other.
The children added their own piece of red card to the tree before the Dean and Westminster Chapter greeted them at the entrance and welcomed them into the Priory.
Downstairs, one of the oldest parts of the convent, Catherine repeatedly thanked singers Kate Melua, Dan Smith, Griff and Fisherman’s Friends for taking time out of their busy schedules to perform tonight.
While speaking to the Bastille singer, the princess told her that her children were “really excited.” [the service] “It has become such a tradition now.”
Griff said he was nervous about singing at the Abbey because of the acoustics, but Catherine reassured him and said: “I’m sure it will be wonderful.”
Chiwetel thanked Ejiofor for taking time out of his busy schedule to attend this evening, saying he and his wife are currently “settled in” as they are expecting a child in January.
He spoke to the rest of the acts before moving to the Convent to greet some of the congregation, including Holocaust survivor Steven Frank, who was photographed by Catherine in 2020 to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the end of the Holocaust.
Catherine was also seen with Canadian actor Eugene Levy.
The Schitt’s Creek star featured William on a new series of his travel show The Reluctant Traveler earlier this year.
As guests waited to enter the Abbey, they heard music from young people supported by the Future Talent charity, which was co-founded by the late Duchess of Kent, who died aged 92 in September.
The duchess, who taught music at a state primary school, wanted to provide children from disadvantaged backgrounds with greater access to music lessons.
