Proud parents William and Kate were pictured sitting either side of George, 11, Charlotte, nine and Louis, six, in a newly released snap from the Princess of Wales’ Christmas beautiful carol concert earlier this month.
The royals were joined at Westminster Abbey in London by 1600 guests including celebrities GMB ’s Ben Shephard, actress and author Giovanna Fletcher and McFly star husband Tom, Saturdays singer Mollie King and cricketer Stuart Broad.
Kate’s parents Carole and Michael Middleton were also in attendance, alongside younger sister Pippa. Survivors of the horrific Southport stabbings earlier this year were also invited to the special festive event.
In October, following the completion of her chemotherapy treatment in the summer, Princess Kate and Prince William attended their first official engagement, where they met with victims, their families, and emergency responders.
It was originally intended to be a solo trip for William, but Kate chose to accompany her husband to offer her support and empathy.
The couple visited the families of the three young girls who were killed, as well as dance instructor Leanne Lucas, who remains in critical condition.
A source shared: “The Royal family have been a tremendous support to the families.”
Readings focused on love and empathy were delivered by the Prince of Wales, along with several celebrities such as actors Richard E. Grant and Michelle Dockery from Downton Abbey.
Singer Paloma Faith was one of the artists who performed.
The event’s purpose was to inspire attendees to consider the significance of being with loved ones during challenging moments.
Kate looked stunning in a vibrant red coat paired with a tartan skirt, while Princess Charlotte appeared calm in a burgundy coat, and the boys were dressed in matching bright red ties.
