The carol service came about final week and can be broadcast on Saturday.

Kate, who’s William’s spouse and have become Princess of Wales after Charles ascended to the throne, hosted the occasion and devoted it to Elizabeth and “all those who are sadly no longer with us”. “So, whilst Christmas will feel very different this year, we can still remember the memories and traditions we shared,” Kate mentioned in an introduction to the service. Elizabeth died on Sept. 8 aged 96, after 70 years on the throne.

“Her Majesty held Christmas close to her heart, as a time that brought people together and reminded us of the importance of faith, friendship and family, and to show empathy and compassion,” she mentioned.
